[quote=Anonymous]I understand your frustration. Our DS was older when he started seeing a psychologist because we needed assistance in helping him learn to manage his emotions. Like your psychologist, he pretty much just played, saw none of DS's anxiety/negative behaviors and because DS was having a good time, he wasn't able to access memories of when he was out of control - and thereby unable to discuss situations. What a waste of money. We quit. However, like a PP, we did work with a service provider who would play with him and then get him into situations where these negative emotions would rear their ugly head (frustration at not being able to figure something out, losing when he expected to win, etc.). In those sessions she was able to get him just to the point he was spiraling out of control and then talk him through techniques to bring himself back down. It was far more helpful than the psychologist.[/quote]
