Back to partial program

Daughter met with her new therapist today,she is kinda goofy,out of the ordinary,daughter really liked her.She suggested daughter go back to the partial hospitilization program.Her depression is extreme,so our intake appt is Friday and she will start on July 5th,ugg,I am so beside myself.If this does not work we will have to look into inpatient.I feel like nothing is helping,I know we just started with a new therapist and things take time but it feels like we are running and getting nowhere.I never ask this, only because others are more in need than we are but,for those of you who are religious please pray for my daughter and my family.I dont know what else to do.

I believe in the power of prayer...gotcha covered! My daughter meets her new therapist (not the specialized one we wanted so we might not stay but we're going to try) and I'm sure there will be a learning curve in how our whole relationship works. But I'm happy to say, I THINK my daughter has hit a strong place where disclosing isn't as scary...We're going through a lot of new disclosuses lately.

I'm sorry -- you must feel as if you're going backward. You're still going forward. This new therapist quickly identified what you'd suspected when your daughter's first program came to an end, that she wasn't ready. Maybe without the newness of the program, your daughter will be more receptive to adopting the new behaviors she was (I hope) taught the first time. We can't always absorb lessons the first time. Sometimes it's too much to process at once, and sometimes it takes making mistakes again before we begin to understand the patterns. I'm proud of your daughter's willingness to try again. That's really positive!

Pretty strong. A daughter of one of my friends was a constant cutter -- probably 13 when she started -- but is now grown and doing fine. She was also sexually abused by a cousin, and never disclosed (she told my daughter, and after many consultations with various member of this group, I decided not to tell her mom).

I'm glad you can see this do-over as a good thing. It is.
