Question about therapists
| Sat, 06-02-2007 - 9:43am |
The discussion about therapists on another thread got me thinking about an experience we had with our DS. He saw a therapist on a short-term basis for some issues that he was grappling with. My DH and I never really got comfortable with the therapist, and even though everything seems to be OK now, I think my son may one day need to see a therapist again. My question is this: how much does your child's therapist communicate with you about what your child tells them? The therapist who saw my son would tell us next to nothing. At the time, my son was only 11 or 12, and I thought we had a right to know more about what was going on. Is that normal? I know a lot depends on finding the right therapist that you feel comfortable with. I also know that the therapist needs to make the child feel comfortable in opening up to them. But I was wondering if all therapists keep things so confidential from the parents.
