[QUOTE="klmno, post: 403958, member: 3699"] Personally, I think that hits the nail on the head. I'd bet money she goes right back to the old ways any time she is faced with the new plan for socialization or detaching from you or anything else that threatens her comfort zone, which isn't a healthy comfort zone. She feels safe with the comfort zone she has there. She will most definitely push it to the point of harming her bodily organs again, in my humble opinion, because she knows you'll jump in and bail her out before she dies. The problem is that she isn't thinking maturely and rationally enough to understand the real importance and seriousness of this. (Again, all just MHO.) But how do you teach that instead of enabling if you keep finding one more treatment center every time she backslides and takes things a step further? I also agree that if you are comfortable with this treatment team, as you appear to be, then you should follow their discharge recommendations/plans because if you only folklow part of it and get other profs involved who are approaching things differently, you won't be able to tell up from down and I can't see either approach working. At least if you put both legs in one approach you can get to a conclusion about whether or not it really works for your child- after all, it's not the statistical child or the common non-eating child, or a child that has the exact issues someone else's child had that you are trying to treat here. It's your own unique child, with her own unique personality and set of problems. The first hospital medicated her until she was nearly a zombie and that didn't help her become more accessible or receptive therapuetic-wise. I know a lot of people swear by that approach but it simply doesn't work with all kids- especially the ones who have learned to use their issues to manipualte Mom because they KNOW Mom will keep looking for a bigger resolution every time the kid raises the stakes.
