[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 362345, member: 1550"] Therapy is theory. It depends on what sort of therapist you find. I never found therapists helpful for my teen daughter when she was doing drugs. They did coddle her,e ven telling her I should let her do more stuff and trust her more :sick:. Sure, and she could stare me in the eyes and lie to my face...with tears, but I should trust her. When she didn't want to go anymore, I gladly let her quit. Therapy only works on SOME disorders...autistic kids don't do well in therapy usually unless the therapists understands the rare problem of communication with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). I like cognitive and dialectal behavioral therapy, but you have to be highly motivated for it to work...for ANY therapy to work. And those therapies are hard for kids to understand. I personally found plain old talk therapy not all that helpful (not for me or my kids). What is your daughter's attitude about therapy? Does she know she has issues? Does she genuinely want to do better? If not, she won't. [/QUOTE]
