Wednesday night I went with Kylee to her first therapy session. It was really just a "get to know you" type of meeting. To tell you the truth, I'm just not sure if this is the right fit for us, but I guess we should give it a chance before we make any assumptions. She goes back next week by herself so I guess we will just have to wait and see.
After therapy Brian and I went out to eat Mexican food, my favorite! Kylee actually wanted us to bring her a children's enchilada dinner! I was more than excited! And she ate it, every last bite! You can read about it here. Of course, after that 2 steps forward day we a 3 steps back one. But that's to be expected. That's how recovery goes. I'm prepared for that and I am looking forward to when the steps forward outnumber the steps back. I know it won't happen over night, this thing didn't manifest over night, but it WILL happen.
Yeahhhh, I'm not so sure about this being the right fit for us either. I'm starting to think I don't even need the therapy, but I guess we'll see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI am taking more steps forward as I type this! Love you!
Don't get discouraged if this therapist isn't right for her. You need to find someone that she feels comfortable with. If this one doesn't work out, KEEP LOOKING because the underlying issues need to be dealt with.
ReplyDeleteIt took me three tries until I found someone that I could trust. Next to blogging, therapy has been one of the major influences towards getting better. I don't know where I would be without it.
All the best :)

Ps. It is wonderful to see a mother who is trying so hard to understand her daughters struggles - I have an amazing relationship with my mother and it means the world to me. I know Kylee feels the same way.
I've never been so proud of someone for eating enchiladas! Keep up the good work you two, I believe in you.
