[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 486434, member: 7083"] I understand that this therapist is getting to the root of the problem and she's the first person to do so. However, you mentioned that he's only had a few session. When dealing with trauma, first you have to teach coping skills and you have to back off when it gets to be too much to cope with. Not stop - but slow down, and reinforce coping skills. I wonder if therapist isn't aware how strongly he is reacting to this? I don't think she needs permission to listen to you - she just can't divulge anything. I'd be tempted to call her and tell her that you know she can't say anything, but that you want to let her know how strongly he's responding and that you're not sure he has the right tools to cope at this time.
