[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad therapist or bad fit.

Don't overthink it.[/quote]

This.

My DD felt bad, grouchy, more withdrawn and anxiety seemed worse after her therapy sessions. However after her hour session once a month with her psychiatrist she always came out upbeat and seemed happier. I asked the therapist about this and she said oh that’s normal, she’s really flat and I’m trying to draw out her emotions.

So I asked her psychiatrist who said no that’s not normal and suggested finding a different therapist. We tried another one that was in insurance, young, and did talk therapy. She wasn’t upset like before but she said it didn’t do anything. Third switch was to a highly recommended but sadly not in insurance therapist that does DBT in an individual and group session program. Wow, huge difference. DD really likes it and it has made a positive difference in her managing her challenges.

The problem with therapy is that there is no standard of care as there is with other medical professions. Schools pump out tons of psychology majors and it’s one of the easiest majors. There are a lot of well meaning dumb dumbs providing therapy. [/quote]
