[quote=Anonymous]We finally found a therapist for DD that she likes.. so far  (seen her 3x).  DD is in a better place in general; her mood swings, panic attacks, tantrums can change daily though.  I’m glad we started at a good time while things are smoother.  Our first meeting we both met the the new therapist.  I always hate these sessions because it’s so hard to be open about the problems with your child/family with the child present.  I was also more upbeat and less revealing because I want DD to like the woman.  Let it go?

We are still early in the relationship, right now DD is talking about schoolwork and her “friends.”  She doesn’t really have any close friends.  DD, 13, has anxiety, depression, and ADD.  My biggest beef is that she doesn’t take her meds every day, I have to remind her constantly and stand over her.  I am just so tired. DD is loud. Dramatic, and mean at home.  I don’t want to ruin the rhythm and I would like DD to utilize the session that motivates and strengthens her but The therapist is not getting the full picture. I did release a form and asked the therapist to call the school guidance counselor for school drama history. Should I just arrange an appointment for myself with her therapist?  It’s so expensive and out of pocket..,  What gave you done?[/quote]
