Guest guest Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hello, I am new to the group. My daughter who will be 8 soon was diagnosed a year and a half ago with OCD. Looking back can see it as far back as 2yrs old. Now that I am beginning to understand what OCD is, so many things make sense. . I found a good book on parenting my child with OCD. Still searching for a good match in a therapist for her. She has seen a child play therapist for her OCD off and on for about 18mo. However, she will not follow his direction. Thus, I end up doing most of his job. So, looking for someone she will listen to and follow through as best she can on. We had a huge breakthrough this week. She finally was able to say she has OCD, I read her some stories last week about what OCD is and tried explaining it on her level for sometime. It was so heartbreaking to me that she refused to even listen to me about it. Now that she has realized it we can start talking more about CBT skills and learning how to deal with her OCD needs. I know tomorrow she may go back to " not believing she has it " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
