[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 47608"] Roe - it is true. In an earlier post I did say how therapist called me on the phone to tell me the very same thing. I really do not see this helping. When I first met with him alone, I discussed my concerns, his need for social and anger skills/management. We discussed certain situations and what I thought he really needed help in. I assumed that is what they have been talking about. But when we were all there last week, therapist said "Alex, this is the most you have ever talked. You only ever talk about how much you hate school, and how much you hate your mom". What a blow...They are not working on HOW to handle anxiety, how to recognize the signs or How to help him through his bits of anger, or how to get a long better??? I was really lost when we left there. The one person, which I have probably mentioned a hundred times that can get through to him, that has told me for 6 years all these things would happen..She can get through to him. She helps him think of ways to handle situations. She has given him her home phone if he ever needs her, which he has called several times. Unfortunately she is the counselor at the elementary school. (she holds many degree's, teaches parenting classes..super person) I would pay her out of my pocket if she would just meet with him twice a month, or what ever. But she is a busy lady, new grandmother and I am afraid to ask. Would that be inappropriate to ask? [/QUOTE]
