My sons T upset him during his last session and caused him to shutdown and dissociate. She was aware of the fact and made me aware but didn't tell me away. The next day my son was able to verbalize and made me aware that his T was calling him unfair and minimized his situation. My ex left him for 3 hours with his girlfriend of which he doesn't speak to. His father told him about it as he was exiting. His T called him unfair and took his fathers side. When he dissociated she then said that she doesn't have to be his therapist and that he didn't have to pick her. I made her aware of how he felt and she responded hours later with a "thanks for the update". He is now not scheduled and he's basically floating on her schedule. Prior to her maternity leave both of my boys were on weekly. Now my son is upset that she hasn't reached out to him knowing that he's upset and that he has to wait 2 weeks to address the matter. Should a T reach out to a client in this case at least for a few exchange of words? Should it especially matter since it concerns a 12 year old? He is now questioning if she did it on purpose to get rid of him. He is wondering if he still has her as a T or is she going to want to give him up to another T.

Hi you had mentioned in another post that this t has yet to give them back a permanent spot on her schedule. He latest actions make me uneasy. She may be too overwhelmed to give your sons the support that they need and deserve. Can you shop around for another t for your family? Her words about you can find another t would upset me if I were a parent of a kid in therapy.

Do you want your kid to see a therapist to whom you have to defend him? I would not expect a therapist to call and check.

It may be time to sit down with your children's therapist and get a concrete plan for if and when they will be back on a regular schedule. If the therapist is unable to do so, then it is time to find a different therapist. You need to take the initiative here as the parent who is paying for a service. Rather than get caught up in whether the therapist "should" be calling, etc., you really just need to make it clear what your expectations are for services and find out if she is willing and able to provide those services. If not, find a different therapist for them. Don't drag this out waiting to see if she is going to get the situation fixed. Either she will commit to doing so or she will not.

I think you should confront the T regarding all these confusing matters. I'm wondering why you haven't already asked her about the weekly slots for your sons? I agree with Lola that you should take the initiative and request the service your sons need and not accept any bs..ing. In the end, the T is no responsible for your sons, you are!

The therapist is bad mouthing the mother of his client? What did you do to your son? This therapist sounds like a child. They should have called your son immediately and never let him stew. There are more bad therapists then you think.

According to my son whenever my son speaks well about me she will say that she doubts whatever he says. My son has issues with his father and so the common thing for her to do is to give him as much credit as she can from where her she can grab it and then put me down. She went as far as telling me not to cook My son breakfast because I'm spoiling him. That was because his father wasn't making him breakfast on his weekends. So she said that if I didn't make him breakfast then it wouldn't see so odd at his fathers house. I said to her what craziness is that. I told her that I wouldn't do so and she got upset because I'm working against her. This has been the common denominator. There has been times where she seems like she is there for them but I'm not sure where we are at now.
