[QUOTE="klmno, post: 212964, member: 3699"] Thank you, Ladies! I wasn't happy when the PO started on a rant about her thinking "she believes there is a trigger and she knows what it is, it is that difficult child starts doing things like this and this is why he gets depression and anxiety". I tried to nip that in the bud right away by saying that this isn't what the counselors/psychiatrist think, sometimes there is no trigger, and it would be dealt with in counseling. She stopped and changed gears, although I don't think she really got the point I was trying to make. I've seen this in difficult child too many times not to notice that the mood changes first, then the behavior goes awry. It took about 18 mos for the school to see and admit that it isn't the bad behavior causing the mood change, it's the other way around. But, the main thing is she handled the punishment part in a way that I agree with. I still wish she could realize that she could stand to learn a few things about the mental health part- mainly- if you aren't an expert or have no experience in this, a person should keep their opinions to themselves and not try to play therapist. Yes, Terry, I whole-heartedly agree that the hardest part about therapy is the search for the right one. [/QUOTE]
