Reply to "Epigenetics & intergenerational trauma"

The biggest problem in my mind was that the agency providing the TF-CBT used interns, who left after brief stints.  My CASA kid had 3 therapists in the system and was about to have a 4th, before I got her out.   Thus the relational component was totally undercut.

My frustration is when there is a kid who is suicidal or out of control or shut down, whatever, and youve given TF CBT 3 times, and especially if the kid is TRYING (like my CASA youth who even agreed to a 3rd CASA at 16!!)  and the psychological problem is still there, unchanged, you have to think of something else to try.  Kids who repeat what is not working simply age out of the system as WRECKS.  This is unconscionable when other therapies exist, IMO.

Another big evil is NOT diagnosing things formally which would compel a more serious therapeutic approach.  Example, RAD was talked about to old CASA but never in official ppwk.  Dissociation witnessed by me was pooh poohed.  They want the # of clients they serve to be high and not lose the revenue to an outside provider.

I still feel RAGE at that agency.
