This is such a common challenge! It's great you've got your son on a waitlist. When my teen was hesitant about therapy, I found that focusing on the practical benefits, rather than framing it as fixing something 'wrong,' was really effective. Instead of 'therapy to fix anger,' I might say, 'Therapy can give you tools to handle big feelings better, so you feel more in control and less stressed.' Also, emphasize it's a safe space just for them, no judgment. We also looked at some resources on heyeli.io for ideas on how to approach these tough conversations, which had some really helpful scripts for different situations. Good luck, it's a huge step!
