Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I absolutely ditto about wasting your time on someone who won't admit they don't know how to do it. It's like waiting around months on a bad car mechanic - all the talking in the world isn't going to replace your radiator. ERP is a procedure and either they know how to do it or they don't. , can you share who you found who does Skype therapy????? Rhonda Re: Son diagnosed with OCD. Not sure if diagnoses is correct... I am I would agree with Barb on everything she said. My son was dx at age 3 and try explaining it to a 3 year old. Sobbing and wailing " I know you say it is safe, but I feel like Im going to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! " Yes harder in a younger person but the theory is the same. You can tel lher how much you love her and you hate Mr WRong and you are going to help her get rid of him, because you love her and hate what he is doing to her. But she needs to know that getting rid of him hurts. You could use the analogy of a splinter in the finger or something she might understand- it hurts to have it in, and it hurts to take it out but when you are done it feels MUCH better. Also Know that anything " she " says to you is not her talking. It is Mr Wrong saying all that stuff and you can feel free to just ignore it emotionally even if you do try to set bounderies around it at other times ( dont try to set bounderies during an exposure unless there is physical danger to someone in which case the exposure is probably too hard or you neeed meds or a med change to try).
