[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 254476, member: 1169"] Currently, we have a good family therapist. I insist that we have a goal in place for the session (eg. "accepting parental rules" or "negotiating increased sibling contact"). Then the therapist works on that. The therapist tries to restate things for Kanga and supports our decisions so that Kanga is faced with a unified front. She will stop Kanga when she gets disrespectful and insist she try again until she is able to talk appropriately. If therapist disagrees with one of our decisions, she calls us on the phone at another time and we discuss why we have made that decision and she states her reasons for disagreeing and what she would prefer. It we hold firm to our decision, she abides by it and tells Kanag that it is the rule. Sometimes, we agree to go her direction -- usually on issues that impact the program at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or on issues that aren't that big a deal with us (i.e. Kanga wearing belts at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when it was not allowed at home because she hit people with them). You seem to really like your therapist. Would she be willing to do the family therapy? [/QUOTE]
