[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 193160, member: 1514"] I realize that I am going to disagree with you here again and you are probably going to simply ignore me...lol...but oh well. It wont hurt my feelings any. I think what you are "taking" from the sessions is simply what you dont want to hear because you want someone to hand you a sure fire cure which you think is in the TEC book. Very few therapists are going to work from that book. They simply dont work that way. They have their own methods that they work from that are based on long standing theories. Basically they first get into the parent child dynamic and start to build a relationship of trust. This has nothing to do with if there is something wrong in the family unit itself or if anyone needs tattling on. Trust just has to be built if therapy is going to be successful. Next what you describe as them working on simple ADHD is most likely the therapist working on attentional skills and impulsiveness skills. He will tease out over time the wheres and whys of how come these skills are lacking and how to build better skills. This all takes time and that ever important trust. And no matter what type of therapy one goes to, behavior modification is an important component of therapy. You seem completely adverse to that term. If you are in therapy for anything, you are attempting to modify your behavior from some beginning behavior to a different more productive behavior. This doesnt have to mean sticker charts or reward systems. [/QUOTE]
