You may think I'm crazy, but domestic abuse counselors or sexual abuse counselors may be your best bet here. They are really good at believing in the victim rather than judging and second guessing. And also at rebuilding that self confidence. You can start by calling a hotline and they can give referrals that you can check out. The other nice thing about going that route is you get more sympathy when you are asking questions to find an appropriate therapist.
I'm thinking this, too.
Clearly the school counselor doesn't want to deal with this kind of "icky" situation, and she seems to want to reframe this as some kind of psychological problem that is all in my DD's head. At the very least, she's doing something to leave my DD with that impression, which makes her intentions somewhat irrelevant here.
If she were talking to ME as well, she'd know that. But she doesn't seem to think that this situation needs to involve parents, I guess. ??
Kind of mad about that, actually.
