Dear Therapist,
I hate this! I hate all of this attachment therapy crap! I don't want to do this anymore! I want this to be over! I want to move forward, not backwards! Why are you taking him backwards again? I'm so scared! I know that we have to find a way to get through the intensive part of this therapy, but it's making the behaviors worse again. I don't like watching where this is going. I don't think I can do this part. I don't think I'm strong enough to get through this. You're making him angry again! He was getting better, and now you're screwing things up for us again. He's doing poorly at school. He's fighting me on every issue. He's furious at you, and at me. He's going to make us pay for this. But you only have to do this for an hour or two. I have to go home with him. I have to deal with this anger all day, every day. Why do we have to take him back there again? Why do we have to do the role-playing? Why do we have to make him relive the pain? Isn't it enough that he had to live though this once? Why do we need to make him live through this again? You say that we'll sometimes have to go backwards in order to move forward. I'm trying to understand that, but I don't think that I have the strength to go backwards with him. He's making or lives miserable again! He's hurting, and he's going to make all of us hurt right along with him. Everyone here at home is frustrated. Everyone is angry that this is happening again. Please, there has to be some other way.
