Do they trust her and do they talk easily to others? I had therapy as a kid, around 14 and I wouldn't talk. No, rephrase, couldn't talk to them about anything. I was in too deep. They used to say to me after 20 or 30 minutes that if I will couldn't talk then they couldn't help. I went every week and it was the same excrutiating agony for mW inside but on the outside I just sat in silence except for saying every now and again that I was fine.

My new T worked hard with me in the beginning even as an adult to help me to talk. Working creatively has been a real game changer this time around. Some Ts just don't know how to do it, some Ts are clueless. Some kids aren't ready for therapy.
