So we talked about it

Joel and I had a very long talk last night about my struggles and also about our daughter.

As some of you know we're seeing a new neurologist and she was been wonderful. She'll willing to work with her and me.

My only issue is she asked to see our daughter at her worst. She wants to stress her out to the point of her having another meltdown. Maybe I shouldn't say meltdown maybe I should say panic attack. She wants to observe a 12 year old child forced to become so upset it triggers a panic attack.

I feel like this is not safe or healthy and I wonder if she would ask an adult to trigger a panic attack on purpose.

Joel agrees and we both have decided that we will not allow this to happen. I just can't do that to my baby girl.

I hope she will understand our reasoning for this and will keep seeing her. Our daughter is making great progress in the few short weeks we've been seeing her.

This was been a huge stress for me and I feel much better knowing Joel feels the same way I do.

When i worked in behavioral health they just often told parents to install a camera. They wanted to see the environment as well as the triggers, like what led up to it. It feels so envading.

@AngelUnforgiven I would never put a camera in her room. I'm just going to have to explain why I won't let her do this and hopefully she will understand and keep treating her

@Cigarguy101 i wouldn't either. I just dont trust people. There is no way i would do that to my babies either. I do not blame you.

@AngelUnforgiven so hopefully she continue to work with her because we are making a lot of progress in other areas that she struggles with, like change in her day or routine

@Cigarguy101 this should not prevent her from continuing working you have to go to bat for your baby. Any time they ask you to do something that you aren't comfortable with, put your foot down. They are here for you and not the other way around.

@AngelUnforgiven yeah like I said I like her. My daughter trusts her as well. I also feel that she would loose that trust if she pushed her into have a panic attack
