When they met with the shrinks to talk about me when my child self wasnt there they honestly described things I woud do including my then favorite hobby of taking crayons and paper and drawing crude comic strips of characters I invented having adventures, and illustrating adventure stores with a series of drawings like in the funny papers.
I paid a psychologist $200/hr for her to get my daughter to do exactly what you described as a form of CBT. Needless to say it was not money well spent.
Paid them to get your daughter to do...what I just did naturally(ie to use imagination and to 'draw stories' as I called it then)? Thats interesting. Dont mean to pry, but...
Whose idea was it to get her to do that? Apparently it didnt work.
Basically mainstream primary school wanted evidence my daughter was seeking "treatment" from a psychologist for her misophonia.
I knew and the psychologist knew that she (the psych) had not the faintest idea how to treat anything to do with autism (let alone misophonia) but we continued the scam to placate the school.
my daughter benefited so she could stay at school
the psychologist benefited because she was being paid $200/hr to get my daughter to draw pictures and read stories
the school benefited because they were ensuring my daughter was getting professional help
I was out of pocket $200/hr x 12 months so I guess I was the loser
