I know how important it is for me to also not miss a session. It seems that things happen the week that you don't have a session. I also believe that continuity is important and especially in a therapeutic relationship being that it's so involved. She involves me during his session if we need to address something. We have no instruction as to what to do in between session. Sometimes she will say if he can work on a particular area outside of session and make the changes for the next session. Then they can reach out to her out of session if necessary. They used to have a time slot with their prior T and with her they also had a time slot until the beginning of the summer. Then we scheduled on a week to week basis. Last session she said that she had no openings because she has an appt with the doctors and that she forgot. I was okay but when they have major issues or confrontations outside of therapy on a non session week then that's when it all goes down hill. This was all unexpected of course. However my youngest started encountering issues with his father last week the day after his therapy session. He reached out to her then. That was his first breakdown. She then said that because he didn't have a session this week that perhaps they can do a three way conference call with his father. I thought that was great and my son said okay. Then I spoke to her later in the week and she said that she really can't do anything. That was okay because we were figuring a different way about things and his father decided to back off. Then this week everything reversed and she was out of the picture. He's left facing things agin on Friday. My 15 year old got caught in the middle. Just a bad situation for them both. In this particular case I'm not sure how we should've approached it otherwise in order to help his case. How I get involved with her is that I inform her or update her on what's going on. Again with her there's no rhyme or reason as to how or when she gets involved. I think at times she underestimates their "need" for therapy and that's why they're scheduled on this weekly basis where before they weren't. She's going on maternity leave in about two months and gave the option of not seeing anyone at the time. I'm thinking how is that even an option. Apparently she hasn't been listening to anything the boys and I have been saying if that's the case. Our life at home can get very chaotic at times.
