[QUOTE="Josie, post: 331941, member: 1792"] I have done therapy with a therapist and one or both girls at times. We have all seen the same therapist individually also. Even if difficult child 1 went in and told her story first, when I went in, I felt free to tell the therapist my version of the story. The therapist would then look for difficult child's response to that. I never felt that the therapist believed difficult child over me and she spent the most time with difficult child. Maybe I am overly optimistic, but it is possible that family therapy will allow all of you to let the therapist know what it is like with difficult child, give you ways to cope with difficult child and the turmoil from her behaviour, and let difficult child know that most of the problem is her responsibility. CBT/ERP did help my daughter's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but we never had much change with regular therapy sessions. It did give me some relief to go and vent to someone who understood. Our therapist had her own difficult child's so she really got it. I believe brain biochemistry is to blame and talking about it maybe won't help much. But since psychiatrist is the one who wants it, sometimes you have to go along to get what you need. [/QUOTE]
