[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 362527, member: 6705"] Therapy only works if a) the child will go - willingly and b) the child will TALK to the therapist. We gave up on Onyxx and therapy because she learned the code as someone said, and just spouted all the right things. And then later laughed because she had "told them what they wanted to hear". Later she flat refused to go. And given her propensity for physical violence - yeah, not forcing it. Jett? Loved one of the therapists. But... Insurance didn't cover him. So we tried to find another one, but after more than 15 people told us he was "too young to understand", we sort of threw in the towel. He was 10 at the time. Ummm... Not too young, did not want to. BM's current insurance MAY cover the old therapist, which would just rock. Hmm... Now that that's occurred to me, I'll have to check it out!!! For me? I [B]ADORE [/B]my counselor. He pretty much just has a conversation, tells me what he is hearing - and that gives me something to work with. Like... For a while... I was like a tomato... On the vine, not being watered, just wilting... Well... I haven't been back for a while, but I'm in so much of a better place I don't worry about it. If I need him, I won't hesitate. [/QUOTE]
