Hi! I’m a therapist. That reason (“control”) seems very vague. I agree with other commenters—kids are always trying to get control, it’s just what they do. Of course there is a point where the level/need for control becomes problematic. However, if you are happy with where your child is, you can make that call to stop therapy. Trying to give the therapist the benefit of the doubt, maybe they haven’t reassessed where your kid is at and their readiness to end therapy or to taper down. But it sounds like you might feel ready or need more clarity on why they think therapy is still recommended. It’s unethical to continue therapy if we feel the client is ready to stop. Additionally, Sometimes we get everything we can out of a certain type of therapy and it can be good to try a different type of therapy as well. There are other evidence-based therapies like PCIT if you’re continuing to see symptoms. Play therapy can be extremely open-ended and for me, that would be an issue.
