OP
1. Therapy is between your daughter and the therapist 2. Therapy is between your daughter and the therapist. |
Pp here. Of course, but a 14 year old might nor have enough experience with therapists to realize that the one that she has isn't a good fit. That's what I understand the OP to be concerned about. |
+1 My DC has been in therapy off and on for years and we've seen a tremendous difference between therapists that were or weren't a good fit for him. It can sometimes take a few tries to find one that the child meshes with and trusts, so don't hesitate to change therapists if the current one just isn't meeting her needs. |
|
Is it possible that your daughter doesn't see it as an issue? Is she comfortable with having a girlfriend and doesn't see it as a problem to discuss with her therapist?
|
True, but there is nothing wrong with doing what a PP said and emailing her child’s therapist about something going on so her therapist knows about it. A one-way alert, not a discussion. Otherwise the therapist only knows about what is brought up in sessions. |
Please step out of your privilege bubble. There are many reasons a parent might contact a teen child’s therapist - abuse, mental illness, trauma, etc. |
| That's private. Let her have her own therapy. |
