I agree that similar issues might come up with another therapist, but my opinion (and it's JUST an opinion) has always been that Granite would benefit from a therapist who is more open to alternate forms of communication. Granite is very upfront and honest about having trouble communicating, but this T has shut the door on other ways to communicate -- in writing, though art, etc. I think that therapy cannot be a one size fits all thing and the therapist has to be flexible enough to do what works for the individual instead of INSISTING on therapy happening the way the therapist is comfortable with. This therapist has left Granite in AGONY on multiple occasions, refusing to read what Granite has written and refusing Granite's attempts to communicate in the only way Granite is actually able to do so at this time. That is NOT therapeutic. But, again, just my opinion, and I probably only feel as I do because I love Granite and hate to see her in pain.
