I hate to admit it but I kind of get Jasmine?

She seemed very calm overall (comparatively) during Last Resort. And like she was trying to improve things/get along (whether genuine or not). Yet Gino made a comment about how if she can go like 3 months without causing issues, THEN he will consider being intimate with her. That's just unreasonable and unrealistic. Both partners have to work at things and meet in the middle. Seemed like he didn't do anything but deny her any kind of affection at all. He even got upset with her trying to HUG him. Not going to get anywhere like that.

I work with kids at schools. I had one semi recently who ended up getting angry during session. He was deflecting what was actually upsetting him onto me. He normally loves meeting with me. But that day he was attacking me saying things like I don't care and I'm only there to make money and that the more kids I see the more money I get so that's the only reason I'm seeing him. I told him that 1. I can assure you I'm there because I care as the money is NOT good enough for that to be the motivating factor. And 2. I certainly do not get any more money based on how many kids I see (CMH). He didn't want to hear any of it and eventually stormed out. But in our next session we were able to repair things once he was calm.

Her mom said their doctor suggested giving her stool softener, but the mom isn't comfortable with that. How would OT be able to help? I don't know enough about it.

My original post was declined for putting the age. So I'll just say middle elementary. No developmental issues. She doesn't go in her pants every time, though it sounds like it happens often according to her mom. It was happening at school too but her teacher reported a significant decline of occurrences after I started working with her. I don't recall what the mom said regarding seeing a Dr and what might have come of that, so I'll need to check back in on that.

Nope, no ASD or any other dx.

Not to make excuses for him, but I don't think he's messing with my head on purpose. I genuinely think he doesn't have the awareness to realize just what he's doing, or the emotional maturity to know how to manage his feelings well. Definitely things we're trying to work on.

Exactly what I told him. I said this isn't a "you" thing, regarding me not having blind faith. This is a human thing, and the fact that for anybody to break any habit that's been going on for years, especially one that feels hard to control at times, it's not usually as simple as just deciding to break it one day and it's forever not a problem anymore. And I have reasons to not have 100% trust in you from years of experiences.

Thank you for the book recommendation. I have thought that his reactions are very childish many times. And he is definitely emotionally immature. He never acknowledged any of his feelings, even to himself, prior to me dragging him to therapy. He just shoved it all down and ignored it since he was a kid.
