While we didn’t do Maudsley, we were blessed to find a woman that understood and worked well with adolescents (and their parents!). She also had a great sense of humor. We kept our daughter seeing her for an extended period of time, and then it naturally wound down of it’s own accord. Our daughter saw her on an ‘as needed’ basis toward the end. It was perfect. She basically functioned as a sounding board and a pressure reliever outside of our family for my daughter. In a sense, anxiety and stress were what got my daughter into trouble in the first place and teaching her how to talk about it and how to take the stress off were the longterm solutions.

Life ain’t 100% perfect–but it sure is a lot better. And, I trust her to roll with the punches and bounce back up a whole lot more.
