teeth grinding and frustration

[B17D]

hiya

my partner has for a while now been teeth grinding when he becomes frustrated. Due to his current situation (see previous post) where he is very reliant on carers for support but doesn’t want it, and due to the situation he is in at the moment, the frustration and teeth grinding has become more frequent and is resulting in breaking his teeth,

He is very sensitive to touch (won’t wear hand splints which is impacting his rehab, clothes, people etc) and where care need to help him which involves physical help he becomes very frustrated. I think also some anxiety has developed where he has become withdrawn and not wanting to leave his room (again see previous post) and when we do he will grind his teeth and become very agitated. He is on medication to help his behaviour but I don’t want this increased as it doesn’t resolve what he is feeling and what is causing this. He won’t want to wear a mouth shield so I’m at a loss at the moment!

Any help with the frustrations he is feeling, how to support him with this and reduce the teeth grinding would be appreciated!
