[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 698485, member: 1233"] Your therapist sounds worse than useless, in fact it sounds like the therapist is doing more harm than good. Find a new one. I urge you to read some of the books we recommend. One is Parenting Teens with Love and Logic by Fay and Cline. Another is What Your Explosive Child is Trying to Tell You by Douglas Riley. The 3rd is How to Talk so Teens Will Listen & Listen so Teens Will Talk by Faber and Mazlish. The L&L book is a favorite of mine. It uses natural, logical consequences in ways that may seem harsh but really work. I know the book really helped my husband and I work together to help our kids, and it made a HUGE difference. The book by Riley is amazing, truly! If you don't know why your kid keeps exploding, you cannot begin to help. Kids ALWAYS have a reason, and as a rule if a kid isn't doing well, it is because they are UNABLE to do well. This will help you set your child up to succeed, which I think is what every kid needs. The system just isn't set up so that every kid is ABLE to succeed, but the book can really ehlp with that. The 3rd book is one a friend of mine swears by, and it really helped her make a HUGE difference in her child's life. I have not really needed it, but I know many others here who have been hugely helped by it. I think your psychologist could stand to read it also, because clearly your son isn't making any progress if he is coming out of sessions angrier than he went in. I hope some of this helps. [/QUOTE]
