many people think going to therapy is a sign of weakness- but i am here to tell you it is not- we have been in therapy as a family and my son as an individual for 6 years- some of those years seemed to never end- working on the same behavioral problem over and over - it does get daunting - but it is rewarding when your child finally gets it. not saying we don't have behavioral issues now we do however they are not the same as before- the behaviors he does now or normal for a middle schooler
so a few months ago our therapist said we need to discuss discharge - are you up for it - yes yes i am I said- my son and i are working together- we both have issues at times (mostly cause he does not listen with things) but we work them out in a normal way- he often apologizes cause he knows he did not handle things well. so after many years in therapy we will be discharged thanksgiving week. we know we can go back if it is needed but i am so thankful we have come this far-
i know i got strength from going to therapy and so thankful for our therapist
so please do not hesitate to get the help you and your child need - go to therapy- its life changing
