Re: therapy appointment- F.

[Guest guest]

Hi . My daughter has been seeing this therapist for 3 months. She saw 2

others over a 3 year time and never had results. I think the difference is

that my daughter feels like she has a relationship with this therapist and

never

felt a connection with the others. This therapist is also just really good

at a lot of different things and using a variety of methods. You are a right,

it is bizarre that her method of not looking like a person with a mental

disorder is exactly what makes her look like one. It is weird how the brain

works

sometimes. I hope things are improving for your son. Kim

Kim,

That's really interesting. How long has your daughter been seeing this

therapist?

My 11 yr old son is seeing a psychotherapist in addition to us pursuing CBT.

So far, I haven't seen any results. Mostly, I'm there for the medication,

but he does go weekly, so there's a hope that maybe something will come out.

Your daughter's story makes me more optimistic. Now, I guess, you can address

her fear of hospitalization. But isn't it bizarre that her method of not

looking like someone with a mental disorder is exactly what makes her look like

one?
