[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 152471, member: 3626"] I don't think it particularly helped my daughter. What it did do was help me. I could discuss particular problems and her therapist would come up with some very concrete suggestions. I could also vent, whine, cry, etc. to him. For my daughter, it was just another place to play -- she absolutely refused to talk about anything that was even remotely negative concerning her behavior. When she hit her teens, I think it did help her on some issues, mainly on how to treat her friends and how to judge when they were truly friends and when she was being used. That made it worth its weight in gold to my mind. She did decide to quit therapy although I do think it would have been useful as she hit adulthood. As she said, she's been in therapy most of her life and it was time for her to try living without that crutch. She has not shut the door on therapy, just put it to the side for now. [/QUOTE]
