[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 45565, member: 3211"] Linda, A nap during sessions sounds good. Or, it would be very nice if we could all meet somewhere for a cup of HMJ while the younger set enjoyed their counseling. We'll set up a quiet room somewhere - bring your rocking chairs. I'll bring the coffee. Over they years, we have been fortunate enough to have a great outpatient therapist whom difficult child loves. Problem with that is that nothing ever changes - and because difficult child really likes her and deep down is a people pleaser, he will often tell her everything is going great or gloss over the not so glamourous details - completely defeating the purpose, as far as I'm concerned. Then, when I join them, she tells me "difficult child has said everything has been going great - is that your take on things, too?". And there I sit - choosing my next words carefully. UGH. I don't think the therapy he has been through and continues to get is harming him in anyway, but I am also not too sure he's gleaning anything useful out of it either. Truthfully, I think easy child is getting more out of her weekly lunch meetings with the school psychiatric where she gets to talk about living with difficult child and problems with her fellow 8-year-olds. So, who wants a latte before I sit down in this rocking chair? [/QUOTE]
