[QUOTE="Irene_J, post: 98182, member: 181"] Flowergarden My difficult child feels much the same as yours. She had 2 inpatient hospitalizations, 2 intensive oupatient programs and tons of (expensive)counselling with psychologists and psychiatrists. Even now she says "therapy doesn't work." When I ask her why she says that the person only changes when they want to change. But one thing therapy did help with was me. The therapist suggested that I save my money with difficult child since she wasn't responding, but that I come alone. And what the therapy did was help me to deal with my difficult child. The therapist gave me insight into how my difficult child was thinking (however illogical it was). It also helped me prepare for a life if my difficult child continued to make the wrong choices. Even though my therapist moved to NC after I saw her about 10 years, we still keep in touch via email and phone calls. I think your current therapist is correct that your difficult child must "click" with the therapist, or else it is a waste of time. [/QUOTE]
