[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 58587, member: 2211"] Thanks Marg. We have insisted she continue to go, and in this case in particular, she hasn't had a choice in the matter. Right now, she does like this new therapist and I do too. It just irks me the way some counselors latch onto the first thing they can and think that is the root of all the issues - urg, but I've already stated this. The thing that's difficult, or annoying, about her seeing a counselor she doesn't want to see is that it helps no one. It's a waste of my money and our time - the counselors, mine, and difficult child's. If she's simply going so she can say, "look, I am going, see??" but not talking or thinking anything through, thereby not improving or learning anything new, such as how to COPE, then it's useless in my opinion. We've seen several counselors over the years and there was only ONE who connected with difficult child. We all connected with this woman, she was awesome and just knew exactly what to say or do and how to guide, etc. But, alas, this wonderful magical woman has retired to FL and it's been a gamble ever since. I think this new counselor may be a good one. I think you're correct - difficult child needs to like her and feel safe with her, so I will let things lie and see how it goes. Thanks for that reminder. ttfn~ [/QUOTE]
