To be perfectly honest with you, I don't think the psychologist said anything that we hadn't already kind of said to our son but I do think it helped to have it spelled out in a very practical way. I also think it really helped to have someone other than parents talking to him about stuff like this.
This. Therapy does impact quality of life, too, even if insurance does cover it, because it's yet another appointment for busy families and gas costs money too, but having another adult kids can trust and talk to about this saying (hopefully) the right things helps. YMMV.
