Today was our very last Friday session with Lapwings therapist. Over 4 years of weekly therapy over! Looking back I see a very traumatised little girl, who screamed and kicked and punched and scratched, transformed into a beautiful, smiling, laughing happy girl who now has friends, loves me and her dad, cuddles me, kisses me and lets me paint her nails and plait her hair!
It's not been a magic wand as that doesn't take 4 years! But it has been an amazing journey. Lapwing still has some stuff to work through, and lots of stuff that is hard sometimes to deal with. But the lovely girl who made her therapist a card, and shared a cake, and understood finally that she is a lovable and adorable girl, was a million miles away from the little scarp who we started with. Lovely Lapwing, and we are now a therapist and therapy free family....... a weird and wonderful feeling!
