I was homeschooled through middle school back in the 90’s through the district before it was cool. My parents did not like the middle schools in our area.
It was good, needs a parent that can stay at home and be an actual teacher. Thankfully my Mom was just that type of person.
We also found a good behavioral psychologist, he helped a ton. Forced her to realize she was living a privileged life and should be grateful rather than resentful. He simply contrasted her with his other patients and informed her she was golden, you have two parents who love you and want the best for you, She agreed and turned around. Sometimes it takes a disinterested party to reveal a truth.
If you wonder why I am not on this forum much anymore, realize it’s because I a troll leftists on X instead of trolling our pathetic libs. I am up to 375 followers there now just being a reply guy. I could monetize and make 10k a month there if I didn’t’ t have to worry about being outed and the wife’s corp gig being compromised.
They don’t know my twitter handle. It’s harder to get followers as an anon. If I used my real name the wife would get corp cancelled. Bottom line, X is a bigger platform and you can troll significant players instead of trolling nobodies here. I would rather make George Takai or Justin Trudeau look stupid than make one of our dumb anonymous libs look stupid. And my years here have honed my ability to make libs look stupid to a fine cutting edge. Good prep for big boy social media
Of course you also have to factor telling the truth today can carry a heavy price, which is why I limit myself to pithy replies to significant actors while remaining under the cancel radar, It is an art.
Not sure I agree with contrasting one patient with others in such a way…“you’re better off than my other clients!”…seems like a betrayal to the other clients…
How is that out of line? Guy sees mostly kids with parents who are messed up all the time, he met with us extensively and recognized we were loving parents with no pathology. She was in a loving home with two committed parents who paid attention to their children. It’s not like he gave her case details of his other clients. He merely pointed out that based on his experience she really had nothing to complain about. Her grievances were trivial. She was a spoiled kid trying to dominate her parents at age 12. He set her straight that it wasn’t ok or warranted.
Ironically what precipitated us seeking psych help was her refusal to get a school required vaccine on the basis she couldn’t stand needles. Ironic because now I don’t trust vaccines either. But that was before covid shone a light on the industry.
I don’t think comparing people’s issues with otters is considered good practice, but I recognize that the therapist probably didn’t do it as directly as you’re stating it now.
But the important thing is, your kid got out of the bullying situation. That ■■■■ sucks.
