[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 264830, member: 1233"] i am sorry difficult child has these issues to contend with. I would act ODDish if I had gone through that, esp if someone tried to force me to go see my abuser. If the doctor thinks it is just ODD and maybe anxiety then maybe you need a 2nd opinion. I am stunned the doctor didn't volunteer PTSD as a diagnosis knowing the history. EMDR (eye movement desensitization something-or-other) is considered the "gold standard" for treatment of PTSD. It helped my daughter quite a lot. All of the tdocs who do this that I have spoken to use it with other methods depending on the patient. I am not sure that she is old enough, at 4yo, to have this work but it would be worth checking it out. I am glad your child finally started showing the psychiatrist what happened using the farm animals. It is important that another person not related sees this. Oh - you would not replace the psychiatrist with a therapist who does emdr. You would have them both working to help, preferably together. I hope you have a good weekend. [/QUOTE]
