[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 574630, member: 11847"] we have a therapist come to the house to work on sharing, flexibility, following someone else s idea, etc. Tonight, V had a meltdown over several "details" (wanted to play with green coins, not yellow, wanted to play hulk and not the game that was . offered, and more). Therapist kept on telling him his choice, explaining that the color were randomly selected and basically answering all of V's arguments all the while v is crying and very agitated with body movements. It lasted fir a good 20 minutes and every time h would calm down, something else would trigger him. THERapist made V play the game with Partner but V was still in his meltdown. Despite warning V that there would be no extra time to play Hulk if he did not stop arguing instead of playing the game, Therapist decided to still play Hulk by extending the session well after it was suppose to end. THERapist declared it was a good session!!! I asked him how I am suppose to bring V back to a calm state when he gets stuck.Therapist said that V did end up calming down and it was good. I pointed out that the only reason headlined down was that he got to play Hulk, the one thing he always wants to do. therapeutics : oh... yes, you're right. I asked . my question again. what should be done to stop the meltdown be cause when it starts it does not stop. I explain that the evening would be tough and therapist seemed surprised "you think so?" to which I replied " I know so". and yes the evening sucked! therapist offered to bring some books and videos for me to read/watch... really??? that's his answer??? I want to work on deep issues. I don´t try to put a band aid on stuff. He tells me "I know you don't have time to talk to him like I did". I replied that do that all the time, I take the time, I have no choice. gosh, I need someone helpful,competent in v's issues. AND keep in mind that V is doing good right now, that is nothing compare to a V who can be anxious and just not doing well at times. I'm tired of struggling alone. the center that tested him offers private session to work on goals that th parents choose. But like fir testing, there is . waiting list. Who knows when we will be seen... (I'm typing on my kindle...the typos have to be worse than ever ) [/QUOTE]
