Hi all,
So my DD (almost 14) will not co-operate in therapy whatsoever. She is in therapy for a myriad of issues such as low self esteem, phobias, poor social skills and serious mental illness/mental instability but we've been through several therapists and none have really clicked with her. She doesn't feel comfortable telling most of them anything at all, because she fears they may tell us (her parents) about the issues she confides in them as well as a few other reasons I won't really go into now. She hates herself and creates personas of other people, she has imaginary friends that she talks to, but i think she's comfortable in her sadness because she just will not do anything the therapist tells her to do or take any of the improvements they suggest to her. She just thinks it will be fixed if she sits there and does nothing and doesn't co-operate. Therapy is expensive and I figure, what's the point if she isn't doing anything? AIBU to want to stop paying for therapy if she keeps this charade up/doesn't work on herself at all?!
Thanks
