A testimonial from a father with a teenage child.
What kind of concerns or issues were you struggling with before receiving Tatsuya's therapy?
There were frequent arguments with my son, and I often ended up being too harsh with him. Looking back, I think I didn’t know the appropriate way to handle things with him. The fact that the middle school entrance exam was just a year and a half away also contributed to the tension between us.
How did Tatsuya's therapy help improve your situation?
I believe I was able to learn the proper ways to respond to my son.
What was your impression of therapy before and after?
Looking back, before therapy, I was in a mindset where I would unilaterally impose my values and expectations.
After therapy, I developed the habit of thinking from my son’s perspective, and instead of trying to solve everything immediately, I learned to focus on what the best course of action as a parent was in the moment.
What did you like about the therapist?
I appreciated the logical and rational advice based on expertise in psychology. I also found it helpful to receive specific advice and coping strategies.
Who would you recommend the therapist to?
I would recommend it to parents who have an upcoming middle school entrance exam and may be putting excessive pressure on their child, leading to a strained parent-child relationship.
