Jan:

Sounds like you are on the right track with the CBT now. CBT and ERP are the

first line of treatment for kids with OCD. Your son has similar fears as did

mine initially. Aiden was afraid if he left the house that something bad would

happen to us or the house, he washed his hands until they were raw, and he

wouldn't touch anything with his bare hands. Now he has mental rituals around

breathing, and also has a bathroom compulsion.

I am an academic advisor also. I'm an RN whose primary responsibility is

recruiting and advising of nursing students. Nursing was my second career. I

have a masters in student personnel services and years ago ran the graduate

residence hall at Iowa State.

Hey Jule,

I went to grad school at the U of Iowa--small world, huh?

BTW, this winter reminds me of those bleak Iowa winters......I remember one

with -80F windchill factor.
