[QUOTE="Christy, post: 193217, member: 225"] Both a good therapist and a willing patient are necessary for therapy to be sucessful. Obviously difficult child is not interested in this aspect of his treatment and you know the old expression, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." I know you are in a tough situation because you've had difficulting finding a therapist that is the right fit for difficult child and this just reinforces his thinking that therapy is a big waste of time. If you were not under the court order, I'd say take a break from traditional therapy and try to find another option but you don't want to do anything to upset the court. In this case, I guess the best thing to do is to tell difficult child that you will continue to look for a better therapist but for now, he must stick with the current intern. Ask difficult child to be polite and respectful and to go through the motions, so to speak. Who knows, after a few sessions they may ake more of a connection and might just get somewhere. Good Luck Christy [/QUOTE]
