[QUOTE="slsh, post: 53677, member: 8"] It's been our experience that finding a good therapist takes a while. thank you had one after his first Residential Treatment Center (RTC) stay who was a *complete* idiot - felt that a 12 y/o, after 3 years in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), should be allowed to come and go as he pleased, engage in sexual activity, etc. When we refused to allow the kids to open a box addressed to husband and I, we were accused of being "annihilators of joy". Um... ok. The capper was when I fired her after 6 ridiculous weeks of so-called therapy, she threatened to report us to DCFS for failing to provide needed medical care. I told her to be my guest - would much rather deal with- DCFS than her. She was a total nut job. The sad thing is that I interviewed her *before* I subjected thank you to her. She just did this complete 180 when thank you showed up. on the other hand, we have found 2 simply fantabulous therapists who were able to work with- thank you. At least as much as thank you would allow. The second one finally told me that it just wasn't worth my time and money to keep bringing him there because thank you wasn't invested a bit. Personally, I wouldn't waste more than 2 visits on a therapist if there's not a connection, a common goal, an understanding of what is going on and why you're there. It's been really hard to find good ones, but boy oh boy, when you find a good one it is really worth the search. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
