[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 126818, member: 1550"] I don't like therapists because both for me and my kids, we found so many useless ones. In 54 years of bipolar, I had one helpful counselor and he did Cognitive Therapy (I love that, but it won't work with our k ids either). These therapists/psychologists are spewing theories of what is supposed to work for kids who are not quite as far out of the box as our kids are. I haven't found any traditional parenting methods helpful for either my daughter who abused drugs (you should have heard the lame advice I got about her...including, I just have to trust her more...lol) or for my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son. My son is pretty well behaved, but, if you have to give him a consequence, you have to do it in a way he relates to or he will have a healthy meltdown just like any difficult child. Fortunately, he usually obeys because it's beyond the "norm" to figure out how to get him to change what he's doing and therapists never helped us. [/QUOTE]
