You have a six year old!! Ok, you win. I've been thankful lately that my youngest is 13 - old enough to care for himself a lot of the time. The fact that he has anxiety makes it harder to leave him, but his brothers are very good at distracting him.
Do you talk to your kids about therapy and the work you are doing? I don't much, though my youngest knows that I go and who my therapist is. At one point he was interested in meeting my therapist, because of his own therapy adventures. We haven't done this, I feel too young and vulnerable when I'm there to allow it right now.
Another question: Today my therapist invited my nine-year old to come into session and talk with him. He has been reading her journaling. I told him it frightened me to let her in, that she was angry and pretty suicidal and last time she was really out it caused a rupture between us. This is the wrong time for that. How do you, (can you?) titrate which age states gets to talk and how much? I'm really worried about the road we are about to go down.
