It wasn't easy. We started young, and she had a bunch of therapists she didn't like so she didn't like, so she wasn't interested in another one.

I took alot of talking, explaining, validating her frustrations, (and likely bribing) to get ber to be ok with it. And I told that of she doesn't want to continue after a few sessions, she won't have to. (There's nothing to lose saying that, because psychotherapy won't work if she doesn't want to be there)

And of course choosing a therapist that knows how to build relationship

Would you consider pm’ing me the therapists name? I would really appreciate it.
I can see such warmth and kindness in my Dd, but socially she is suffering and it is causing a lot of unhappiness. B’H she’s willing to go, I just want it to be a kind and welcoming therapist. TIA
