So my sons T is going on maternity leave and she was weaning both of my children from 1 session a week to 1 session every other week . They will see another T once a month until she comes back in June. It turns out that their last session with her is next week. However recently my son has been having lots of migraines and what seems to be anxiety attacks. I made her aware and she was ok until last Thursday and then went MIA on him. His eating has never been spectacular. The doctors are not certain as to why he's getting migraines as of yet. I questioned his eating pattern trying to see if the headaches derive from that as well and said that he would like to see a nutritionist. He can't pay attention in school. He has a T but I feel like he doesn't have a T right now. I believe there's more to the story than what we have and she could be of help if she was available. At this point I think that she's transitioning out and just busy closing with her other clients.

Sorry your son is struggling so much! It's definitely a very difficult situation.

Do you think once a month is adequate enough for your son? You said that he saw maternity T once a week, and you mentioned that he has anxiety, etc. issues that need to be addressed. So I'm wondering if this new T could help out if she saw him more frequently, especially since you said, "He has a T but I feel like he doesn't have a T".

The other thing is: new T hasn't gotten to know either of your children well enough, and I don't think she'll really get to know them if she sees them once a month. Will they be comfortable opening up to someone they just met? (IDK. Just a random thought of mine.)

I don't know if you're able to have him see new T more often or not, but I think him seeing new T more often could be very useful for both you *and* your son in the long run. Then maybe new T could have some ideas for you while you wait for maternity T to come back.

I'm thinking that his migraines were due to anxiety. He was able to play video games and his headaches didn't seem to be present then. he's still asking to see a nutritionist as well because he doesn't think he's eating right.

Maternity T was trying to wean him off and I can't say that it was successful. I think if anything that's when his migraines started now to think of it. Prior to that he's never had migraines. I think maternity T had mentioned that the T they would be seeing momentarily would only be there to not really work on anything but to be there if they need to discuss something. I see what you're saying and he would probably benefit from seeing her more often. He seems to have things to discuss.

I haven't touched base about it with new T because she's not in place yet and maternity T is working on temporary closure until she returns. That's what it seems to be.
