thats cool sunrise shes agreed to go. my only thoughts on this subject would be to promote the idea therapy is a place where she can complain unconditionally to someone about the crappy life she has (it has no relevance that she may not have a crappy life but i guarantee she thinks she has!!) so she doesnt have to talk about 'fixing her problems' but rather about 'complaining about her awful parents'. the counsellor can then try to work her around and through her feelings.
and just to clarify nothing i said here reflects on your parenting... im just saying how a very normal teenager always feels about their 'terrible, horrific deal in life stuck with these parents who blow'. lol.
good luck and please keep us updated.
