I found a very interesting and telling link about adults with RAD, and it came as no surprise to me when I read the following question about unresolved Adult RAD:

Every message I see is about adults, who have children, with RAD.

Since I dont have children, or a boyfriend, or a husband, I'm clearly not looking for help for my kids, or  anyone else..............except for myself. Are there ANY treatment centers for adults with unresolved RAD, in the Baltimore area?

Since PPL has been made public, I have received many letters from therapists and social workers in various regions of the US asking if we offer job-training or classes for those interested in learning more about adults with RAD.  I was shocked at first to read these letters from professionals who work with orphaned children and adults in private practice.  Why were they coming to us, when there must be pages of links on search engines for certified training sessions for professionals.

This is what I found:   http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=HPID,HPID:2006-20,HPID:en&q=certified+training+for+adults+with+RAD

What about therapies for the Adult RAD?  http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=HPID,HPID:2006-20,HPID:en&q=therapies+for+the+adult+RAD

Not very impressive is it?

There is a growing need for counseling and support for the ADULT with RAD, but very few options are available.  As one who has tried many different therapists to help me resolve my trust issues, I learned very few therapists understand the language of a person who does not trust anyone.

Words like "unconditional", or "trust" or "love" were laughable to me!  Are these people crazy?  Those are the words and meanings I'm trying to learn about!

I did what I have always had to do, and that's figure a solution to my problems all by myself, without the help or understanding of anyone around me.

It has been an exhausting and infuriating experience, but I refuse to quit when it comes to gaining an understanding of what intimate love and trust really means and feels like.  I deserve love, and I believe I am entitled to feel and experience it, otherwise why was I born and allowed to live?
