Conversations with David
David called today. wanting to know what he could do to complete his treatment. So I began explaining it to him. He needs to work his treatment plan. He needs to be safe. He needs to eat what he is fed and not refuse meals. The thing to remember with David, is that he remembers things that he wants to remember. If you told him two months ago that he was going to get a balloon on Thanksgiving, he would call you on Thanksgiving and ask where that balloon is. Likewise, if you tell him a small detail like “it needs to be safe for you to return to public school” he will remember that forever and ask about it. David truthfully explained that he has not had any violent outbursts for a couple of months. And he hasn’t. This is a good thing. That doesn’t mean it is safe
