regression and retreat

Amanda has started wetting her pants again. She has not done in quite some time. I also had to hold her down to keep her safe while she threw a huge tantrum a few days ago. Yet another behavior that I haven't seen in a while. This all started last Thursday the day after she met with her therapist. I was only with them for about ten minutes before I met with my therapist. I am looking forward to discussing this with her therapist and her psyciatrist so that we can perhaps shed some light on this behavioral regression. Unfortunately we won't be seeing them until next week. Until then I'll just have to deal with this as best I can. She is currently seeing her therapist every two weeks but I think it needs to increase to every week. I am also going to be looking into getting a family partner who can help with behavior plans, finding resources and services, getting better organized, etc.. I am so glad I bought two bottles of aromatherapy stress relief lotion. Amanda was complaining earlier today that she had too many thoughts in her head. I am just going to keep reminding myself how nice the mothers retreat that I just signed up for is going to be. I will be able to have relaxing kid free time for a whole 20 hours, woooooo hoooooo!!! I am going to enjoy every stress free minute of that retreat, all 1200 of them.
