[quote=Anonymous]I would expect that: - therapy would almost always improve from not having a parent in the room. Especially once a kid is 9!!! - The therapist hates having you in the room. They likely think you are crazy, because what parent still sits in therapy at this age? A highly anxious and/or micromanaging one. - Your past therapists who have told you they "love" having you in the room are just being nice. I've never had a therapist tell me that I wasn't the best mom ever who wasn't doing all the best, most amazing things for my kid. Clearly therapists know that parents of SN kids are struggling and we all want to be told we're doing the right thing (parenting therapy obviously being the exception - where they will tell you when to back off). They know their audience and they know what to say. But no, no therapist wants you in the room at this age, and yes, they think worse of you for it. [/quote]
