Something I found interesting was the fact that a woman I know decided to actually put her kids through therapy to deal with acne problems. Well, that wasn’t the only reason. She also apparently thought that the therapist would side with her and tell her kids that they were wrong if ever there were a disagreement or other problem. But on the topic of using the therapy for acne treatment, in a way it’s not a bad idea. A lot of kids actually suffer from psychological issues, low self esteem, and other problems surrounding acne.
Now the patient and therapist should have a repore over time, client should be able to trust therapist in general terms, or else it really doesn’t work no matter how skilled the therapist actually is. This is definitely something to figure out. However, in terms of actually helping them, if that is your aim, well it certainly wouldn’t hurt anything unless they think you’re doing it because you think they’re a “troubled child” or something like that. That could do some serious damage for obvious reasons, and moreover, of course the whole thing is a confidential process for a reason. People in general aren’t always the smartest about these things. So it’s something to consider in large part depending on your individual case.
