[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 551975, member: 1514"] I agree with everyone else. I dont remember how old your child is but not everyone is actually really equipped to work with kids. They may think they are but they really dont do it well. Also do remember that old adage about what they call the guy who finished last in his class in medical school...Doctor. LOL. Sometimes you really dont know which one you are getting, the one who finished first or last. Like I said I really dont know your history because I dont often come to General but I have found that at some ages talk therapy is difficult with kids. I know I had my son in therapy from age 4 to 17 and it was pretty useless for lots of that time. Oddly enough the things they said he actually heard but are only now coming into his head. 10 to 15 years after he heard them. However if a therapist is absolutely denigrating you in front of your child that will be the death toll for your relationship and cause so much damage. You have to either find someone who will work well with your child and you or take a break all together. I also never let my son have a therapist that wouldnt talk to me in conjunction with me. Most times I went in for about 10 minutes to let her know how the week had gone, then he went in and then they called me back in for a wrap up of what had gone on during the session. At this point my son is 26 and we do our psychiatric appointments together. That is probably a bit on the strange side but it works for us.. [/QUOTE]
