[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 431119, member: 11001"] Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies. Last night at the family visit (no therapist present, just visit) we decided to probe and see what her needs were. We decided not to do full blown cps because some of these things are just a big "No" for us right now and we wanted to see her intent before we go further. She seems more ready to do cps with the birth control issue than the others. 1.The room-she wants a bigger room-the one down stairs is only a few feet bigger. She likes her decore upstairs better-but she says it is space. 2. Going back to the school she was at-she says that she knows the place and likes some of the teachers and it is close to home. It is true that she will find trouble and poor friends at any school should she decide she is going to go back to her old ways. 3. Birth control-Just as I was writing this she called. She says she changed her mind and wants to try a new birth control that will help her acne more. We did work this with cps. She is very interested in implants (I didn't even know about these until I read it here). She can't do depro because of depression an weight issues, I wonder if the implants are an issue here?? I'm glad she revised this request as I'm not sure if it is the birth control causing stomach aches-she takes 3 other medications. She also has some trouble from time to time with IBS-mostly when stressed, she doesn't seemed stressed however.I'll call the dermatologist tomorrow. I don't know if she is homesick. She never mentions it as she use to at the last Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She seems happy for the first time in a long time. She does so well when she is protected from herself and not under huge amounts of social stress. I really like this place and the staff. I love the skills they are learning-very practical.(Just don't know if they will keep her from running and sexually acting out if she chooses) I just can't help but wondering if these requests, one on top of the other, are not a way to keep using her maladaptive behaviors in a sneaky way once she is released.
