[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 589231, member: 14557"] In other had I think it is natural. Let's face it, I wouldn't be thrilled to go to therapist to whom I know someone has told their version of sensitive incident and who I would think would be working for them, not me. It would be very difficult to trust a therapist in those circumstances and building trust would certainly take time. We are currently in marital counselling. If I felt our counsellor would work for husband and husband would tell the therapist beforehand 'what really happened' and I would know that would be considered the objective truth in counselling, I certainly wouldn't be to co-operative. Not the same thing of course, but feelings are very likely similar. He is difficult child, it is likely he feels that whole world is against him and therapist will be just your tool to try to enforce what you want out of him. And in some ways he does have a point. But I'm sure therapist who works with kids, and especially teens, have had that problem with most of their clients and have ways to work through it and build trust and make a kid believe therapist is not just kid's parent's puppet but actually works for kid's own benefit.
