[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 45323, member: 3211"] Gosh Linda, I think I'm sitting in the chair next to you right now, although they didn't provide me with a rocking chair. Wish I had one. The most I've been offered is some black, very strong coffee or some room temperature water in a cone-shaped paper cup. I have spent a few sessions just sitting there. Only answering when I was asked a direct question, because the whole thing has definitely felt like an exercise in futility. And, the folks on the other side have no idea what it feels like to be us. After so many years of the same old, same old, how many times can you say and do the same things? I think it's only natural to feel like that. I also understand that it's necessary for difficult child, but at the same time, I think why? And, has it really made a difference? And, I think, okay, so I've just burned 4 more vacation hours and nothing ever seems to change. It's like if someone could have recorded our most early sessions 7 years ago and our most recent one, would there really be any difference? Gets pretty discouraging sometimes. I'm with you. Rocking chair sounds lovely, though. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
