[QUOTE="totoro, post: 237093, member: 3155"] A therapist should be in it for the long haul regardless of what the diagnosis is. We are with a new therapist. We met with her first for over and hour to realistically discuss K's issues. How she *may* tear apart her office! How she may hide, how she might be fine for the first few months even the first year but who knows? I feel a good therapist takes her time to truly get to know your child, build up trust, through play and games etc. They slowly enter dialogue and tease out thoughts and feelings. The child will slowly open up as trust is built. The other thing is that if this is a long term relationship built up over time, this could be someone that your child will turn to, hopefully when they are feeling upset or just don't want to talk to you or can't. Through play our therapist was able to really see how K isn't able understand the difference between reality and fantasy in a lot of situations. Most of the people in her life have dismissed this as normal 7.5 yo stuff. It isn't with K because it has led to violence and cruel actions. With little understanding of real or not. Only a good therapist would be able to figure this out. Take your time and do not settle! Interview them and tell them if you feel like if they will be a good fit for you and your family or not. They work for you! You are hiring them and firing them! K goes in by herself for 3/4 of the apt. and then we go in towards the end. But if she was having a very hard time there is no way our therapist would refuse us being in there, if it was in the child's best interest. This place was clearly not right for you or your child! Good riddance! I used to be really afraid to speak up when I first started this journey, now I will not settle for sub-par help for my child, even if it means no help for awhile. Hang in there you and difficult child deserve better! [/QUOTE]
