[QUOTE="keista, post: 475778, member: 11965"] Welcome! I'm so sorry Halfpint is putting you through this kind of HE11. I don't have much advice to offer, but am concerned about the reduction in therapy frequency. Do you think she's stable enough to benefit from once every two weeks? in my opinion she probably should be going twice a week right now. Therapist won't give you a diagnosis unless you ask for one, and even then, some just don't. The ones my kids are seeing now don't diagnosis. For me that's OK, I don't need them to. If you want a diagnosis, you'll have to take her to a psychiatrist, or a psychologist. Since you've been lurking, I'm sure you know that a neuropsychologist is very popular with this board. Not really. in my opinion and experience, the matter of factness is a way to emotionally distance oneself. It's possible that if she let out any emotion, it just would not stop coming out, so she "detaches" from herself emotionally. Or she could be stuck in apathy, and really not feeling anything. Which would make sense in relation to the cutting. Since she can't feel inside, she creates the feeling outside. The fact that she did come clean to you is a positive sign, especially if it was in a matter of fact manner as opposed to out of anger. Doesn't mean she'll be a willing participant in getting better, but, in my opinion on at least some level, she wants the help. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
