My grandson started seeing a therapist a few months ago.
He’s just now 12 and has some issues to work on. Nothing horrible, he’s angry because he has a mom who’s never been his mother and now a brother who she actually cares about. He’s angry for other reasons too, things that I knew he would find in his life one day and I told his dad we needed to do something now rather than later.
So he goes to this therapist who admits he himself has anger issues. He told my grandson this fun story…
One day on the way into work there was an erratic driver. One of those that hop in and out of traffic at high speed to get to where they are going. So, because this made the therapist angry he followed him. He followed him all the way to his destination, which was the erratic drivers place of work. The therapist went in and confronted him and this mans boss to let him know what a horrible driver he was and let his boss know it would be the right thing to do to fire him.
How unhinged is that??!!
I told his dad he needed a new therapist, but, this is the only child therapist in my town that takes insurance and has openings.
One day I got to go into therapy with the kid because his dad had to work.
He’s asking the kid questions, and the kid doesn’t really like this guy, doesn’t trust this guy and wont answer the questions. So I egg the kid along, I try to make him comfortable. I get him to talk a little bit. I answer the questions the therapist asks me about him. In this time the therapist let him know that he was wasting the therapists time and was so … angry really..by the time we left he was almost seething. At what?? No idea… understand why he has openings now.
The kid will never go back there.
