Re: Starting therapy = scared

You would think she would be used to dealing with kids shutting down is she is a

child psych. You would think she would at least try to get him to open up.

Sorry you have to deal with that. I would probably wait and decide after the

next session whether or not it is going to be a problem.

I agree give it another try and see how the therapy goes. You might have to find the right therapist that yourson will connect with. My 12 yo daughter was placed in therapy at school. Theythreatened to take me to court or therapy. How convenient it was for them to have an outside psychologist withan office at the school. My daughter would make fun of the sessions and therapist. Being right in the school it was an embarrassmentfor her to go. This was at $110 a session. I made the school pay for the sessions b/c my daughter has an IEP and forced to go.She sees a different therapist outside of school and loves it. So far this school year has been great! :)From: jm.smoldt <jm.smoldt@...> Sent: Tue, October 12, 2010 11:05:31 PMSubject: ( ) Re: Starting therapy = scared
