Not sure if this fits here, but anywho...

Between myself and my 2 older kids, I feel like we don't do anything but therapy every week. Some days I feel like it's too much, other days not enough because of how severe my son's problems are.

So far our week is:
Monday-Nothing
Tuesday-Group for 1 1/2 hours for me first thing in the morning
Wednesday-Occupational therapy for him in the afternoon, followed by his behavioral coach coming to our house at the evening
Thursday-Family therapy for 1 hour, usually my therapy sessions I try to schedule Thursday evening or morning
Friday-Nothing
Saturday-Behavioral coach for hour
Sunday-Nothing

Yesterday the family therapist came, and asked if I've seen any progress with our son, and I said no. Honestly, we've only started seeing her in a month, so not a lot of time. So she suggested to come an extra hour each week for individual therapy with him. I agreed because I'm trying so hard....maybe too hard to get things to change.

And my 6 year old I also started him in therapy, so now his therapy is Thursday mornings every week for an hour.

I don't know if it's my depression and anxiety speaking, or it's truly too much every week for all of us. I asked my husband for his suggestion, and he said it's up to me if it's too much or just right. I told him I'd probably end up giving up "My time", aka my group and my therapy because I'm trying accommodate all their times.

Now our week is going to be like this.

Monday-Individual home therapy for 7 year old son

Tuesday-Group for 1 1/2 hours for me first thing in the morning

Wednesday-Occupational therapy for him in the afternoon, followed by his behavioral coach coming to our house at the evening

Thursday-Family therapy for 1 hour, usually my therapy sessions I try to schedule Thursday evening or morning plus I try to do yoga for 1 1/2 hours with other moms/babies. Individual therapy for 6 year old son in morning

Friday-Nothing

Saturday-Behavioral coach for hour

Sunday-Nothing
