[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 58161, member: 3419"] Oh, dear. There is absolutely no reason to do therapy by committee. Skip the exH, puh-leese! You need to focus on exactly what difficult child said; bring it up in the next session as your A-#1 issue: Why easy child can get over things and difficult child can't. Regardless of the perceived initial catalyst, it's HOW difficult child REACTS TO IT that matters. Any good therapist will tell you that. difficult child can start getting over it now. She's definitely old enough to start "work." Any therapist can bring out the old baggage and tears. A good therapist will give you tools to deal with-what has been dragged out. by the way, you didn't say whether this is a psychiatrist of psychologist. Psychologists tend to focus on behavior rather than deep digging. I personally like that. It's hard work but, since, in your signature, you wrote that your difficult child is maturing every day, and is funny and creative, she is quite capable of working on this issue instead of just using it to make herself, and you, miserable. (And forgive me for being so bold, but what you wrote, using words like, "yet another counselor," and "difficult child, well versed in psychiatrist speak.") She's already on medications, which should help balance out her moods a bit so she can focus on the thought processes behind the emotions. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
