I guess I mean that he came between me and my parents in a protective way. My family refused family therapy but eventually my mom came in for a few sessions--when she got abusive he gave her the verbal smack down. Even when your family doesn't go to therapy, you can grant permission to your therapist to talk to your parents--sometimes they are so ****ed they don't realize the damage they are doing.
But that is only if you want that--For the longest time it was the last thing I wanted

I don't want my mom to talk to my T for a bunch of reasons. I can think of 2 main ones
1) My mom would not listen to her. She would assume that she's stupid (as she assumes everyone is stupider than her) and would be very aggressive with my T and they would get no where. My T would probably just get trampled and then I'd have to hear her complain about my T for the next 47 years because she can't handle anyone questioning her
2) I've never had any other Ts, but I have had school counselors and social workers. All of them knew my mom and all of them believed everything she had to say. I wouldn't want my T to talk to my mom and then decide that everything I told her about my life is some melodramatic lie I made up for attention.
[EDIT] I think I'd rather have open heart surgery without anaesthesia than go to family therapy
