Re: Re: New study on effectiveness of ERP

[Guest guest]

Thanks, BJ. I wonder if some time soon we'll be ready

to give up on the ERP if he isn't getting relief, or

if we'll decide to maintain some form of it, even if

it's just at home on a daily basis, in order to hold

on to any gains Noah might have made. It's clear that

he doesn't want to let go of the OCD and still doesn't

believe he has the strength.
