Re Insight - Robin

[Guest guest]

Hi Robin,

Just so it's clear, that is the starting point that we are at now -

need to develop insight...since he is only 16 I suspect it might take

some time! Will let you know if there is a big break through on this

and have any clues to share.

Re anger and aggression, I think the suggestion is that this is part

of the person, not inherent to the ocd, since not everyone with ocd

is this way. Blah, blah, blah... Somewhat fed up with lack of

insight on the part of professionals frankly. Obviously each person

is an individual and the ocd manifests in an individual way, but the

point is without the ocd we did not have these issues, so it

certainly is all tied together and seems to come down to a game of

semantics. Can you sense my fed upness?!
