[QUOTE="buddy, post: 583760, member: 12886"] Well I think sometimes kids won't admit to an adult because they think they'll get into trouble. Not always that they are not acknowledging it. Must be frustrating for therapists because unlike adults who seek them to do better, some (not all) kids just go because we make them or they hope the doctor might fix things to go their way. So I can see how you could get frustrated. I know he has no other diagnosis but has he ever had other treatments to help learn to calm? The kind of eeg therapy Quin goes to is passive, it changes brain waves to help keep levels good and to help the brain be flexible. It's so interesting and I believe it works in part with the other changes weve made. I honestly believe behavior therapy and talking about the bad stuff makes my Q feel badly, defensive and angry. But the horse therapy forces him to face anxiety and deal with it with animals that could care less if they're threatened. And finally being in a school where he has multiple successful things happening thru the day....things he likes which gives him positive attention from lots of folks (they don't believe us afterall ) has made a huge impact. Other things we've done were art classes for special needs and his social skills classes. Your difficult child doesn't have social issues though, right? Anyway, just mentioning it because you've not felt therapist has helped so wondered if other methods might help? [/QUOTE]
