[QUOTE="Josie, post: 369018, member: 1792"] My daughter was in therapy beginning at age 7. The therapist met with her, but also met with me. It was in meeting with me that she got the full picture of what difficult child was like. difficult child herself presented very well and thought everything was fine. They did talk about ways difficult child could handle her anger better, but difficult child was never able to put that to use. The therapist's real benefit came from me having someone to talk to about it. This therapist had her own difficult child's so she didn't blame me, but she did offer some new ideas. Not that they worked, for the most part LOL, but I did like having someone to talk to about it. We figured out that my difficult child needed a diet change and she doesn't need the therapist any more, so I don't know how it would have worked long term. We did go to that therapist for a few years. I still go to her a few times a year, for different reasons. My younger daughter has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and she did CBT. For that, we were barely involved. She met with the therapist for a few hours a few times a week and did some CBT/ERP work. We met for a few minutes afterwards to talk about what she had done and what she needed to do in between sessions. She was 11 when she did this. It is a very specific type of therapist that does this and I'm not sure if it works for every issue. [/QUOTE]
