You sounded so hopeful after meeting with the family therapist one on one the other day, what happened?

Family therapy sounds really hard, like it has rules of its own. How old is your daughter? I guessing since I'm not married or have children so please feel free to set me straight. In couples therapy, the communication is adult to adult, and you are encouraged to express all the feelings and thoughts that get in the way of a truly happy partnership. In mother and daughter therapy,you're dealing with a teenager who is still maturing and forming herself. She might not really know or be willing to express herself fully. Also, I'm guessing your mother instict kicks in and you want to protect your child from any pain or fustrations.

You can't talk to your T about this because he is your D coach?

Hang in there. This was a difficult session, just have hope that things can get better. Would talking to the T one of one again help?

Thanks for this!
