my kid won't fight his OCD

[Guest guest]

I know this has been addressed before, but I can't remember the posts. I do the

ERP therapy

at home with my son, when he's supposed to try touching a button. In a week, I

could only

get him to touch it by bribing him with additional computer time...two minutes

per touch.

I got 10 touches! However, I thought bribery may not be addressing the real

problem. So I

told him the next time he should touch it so he could gain control of it, to

fight back. He

doesn't show any fight at all. He's written down things at the doctor's

direction, like " You

can't boss me around. " " I'll touch you whenever I want. " But when it comes down

to it, he just

whimps out.

I'm really getting frustrated and it's starting to show. Any ideas on how to

light a fire under

this kid? He says he doesn't want to live the way he is, but his only solution

is " just kill me " .

Thanks,

F.
