Yellowfrog268 I'd love to know how your daughter is (and you are) doing. I am pleased that you decided to see a psychologist and I hope you did some further research - there are so many kinds of schools of psychologists and so many truly have much better training than others.
On the one hand - I say if you can't talk to yourself, who can you talk to. But on the other - accompanied by the other behaviors - we go to the doctor for guidance. There is so much about learning to be human we can get some good guidance from a professional when needed! Sometimes we find that a few visits offer us the insight we need, but so often we need to learn to trust the psychologist and then the work begins. And its work for the parents, too. Good luck.
