[quote=Anonymous]Between the 2 of them at least 1 of my kids has been in talk therapy for around 15 years. One has autism and the other has anxiety. I have always met with/emailed with/had phone calls/etc with their therapists. In fact, I am putting together a session with DD's therapist and the 2 parents to discuss a recent health diagnosis that is making the anxiety worse. We discuss strategies for the parents with someone who knows exactly what's going on with our kid. I do think it's odd that the therapist wouldn't want to touch base with you, especially when just starting out with your daughter. I agree to find another therapist.

I also agree to get a full medical workup. This could have some neurological causes. I would include looking at her hormones and thyroid -- anything that might make puberty more complicated for her. If she's feeling unsettled by something medical, maybe that is causing some of the unsettled behaviors. I also agree that medication could be the right direction, but you're right not to medicate until you figure out what's going on so you can get the right medication. Do make sure that she's sleeping as well as possible, even if that means using Melatonin. Also, that she's eating regularly -- if she had stomach problems that could cause avoidance of eating and then plunging blood sugar which could cause the behaviors as well.

I'm sorry some PP's have been hard on you. This is beyond typical parenting and it's really hard. Good luck. [/quote]
