[QUOTE="witzend, post: 430746, member: 99"] The nurse did a lovely job with him. It's unfortunate that the only setting that Matt can see that nurse is in the urgent care. I think that it's important to remember that the nurse was doing exactly what the nurse is meant to be doing - facilitating treatment for an urgent situation. In this case, calming Matt down enough to get his medications straightened out and help him to decide to keep it under control and [I]hopefully[/I] make and keep an appointment with a therapist. The job of the therapist is more long term and a good therapist has to be able to first gain that trust that the nurse was able to grab onto, then take the difficult steps with Matt. The nurse redirected Matt onto the right path, and Matt has to stay on the path. It's difficult, but a good therapist has to balance that comfort and sense of ease that Matt felt with the discomfort that Matt [I]must[/I] face in order to move past his anger. A good therapist is like a warrior mom. They suit up for the battle and fight alongside to face the demons. It's painful and difficult but [I]everyone[/I] must be ready to let that happen and let Matt be angry and hurt in order to defeat these emotions that are twisting him so. He can't be protected from them. He can only face and overcome them. I hope that Matt will find a good therapist, and that he understands from the outset that the only way to feel strong about himself is to know that he is stronger than the demons. [/QUOTE]
