Thanks again. I usually am not in the room when he is with his psychologist, but last time she had me join them and that's when they did the coloring faces. I'm not sure if other times they do more of actual CBT. It's really hard because CBT is trying to train your brain to think a different way... my son has already decided that it is impossible. We have a book "What to do When You Grumble Too Much", my son is willing to try the strategies when he is really desperate, but usually it's a no go.
Part of it is that he struggles with writing and I think he has just realized that the writing is only going to increase. I have asked the school to have him evaluated for OT.
He told me that the psychologist is the wrong kind of doctor, it's his body that's sick. Heartbreaking, but he has already seen his pediatrician and I am pretty confident that his body is ok.
