Thanks Dinah, happyflower, and cricket. I saw him today, when my son had an appt. with his counselor. I didn't have an appt., just saw him in the office. So far I haven't made an appt.
Dinah, the reason the same office was important to me is that I have trouble remembering stuff. I'm kind of flaky sometimes. Since we have so many of us with various appts. it would be simpler for me. I also, think, as I say to Happy, maybe I would be better off with someone I'm not crazy about. I really don't want to form an attachment that's difficult to break.
Happy, Actually we're in a large-ish city, and this isn't the only T office, just the one we happen to go to. They specialize in ADD. My kids are between the ages of 2 and 14. ARGH! I know we should be consistent, and I am working on it, it's a constant struggle for both my husband and myself. The older ones have figured out that I'm not always consistent, which is not a good thing. We have work to do.
I think the reason so much came out the first appt. is because it was CBT kind of work, which I would guess a lot of it could be. The discipline, the self esteem, the anxiety. I think it's his style to just come out with it, which is fine with me. I REALLY don't want to get enmeshed with someone, so maybe someone like this would be better? I really like my p-docs style, he doesn't do therapy, and he's a little too perceptive for me, but I like his manner. The two are like night and day.
Cricket, I'm not sure what made me think that this might be worth a 2nd chance. I guess because he made me SO mad that I had to think about a lot of what he said, and had to come to terms with the fact that he was right about most of it. Even if I didn't want to hear it. I don't know if that makes sense or not.
Oh well, who knows?!
