Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Spoke to Henrys specialist today on the phone about ignoring his handlicking and that he has now said we will be burgled if he does not do it. I have expressed my concern that when he returns to school he will stop washing his hands again. She praised me for pointing out that for 6 years he has not licked his hands and we have not been burgled but again repeated that i should ignore this behaviour (the hand licking) and concentrate on Henrys postive personality. This she said will keep my anxiety down, not that i have an anxiety problem. I feel worse now than i did before. After hearing everyones advise i was hopeful that we could start some kind of therapy, and i feel like a right wimp just agreeing with everything she said. I am really grateful for everyones advise but would particularly welcome some from some one in Englad where it is diffreent with not having to go through insurance and everything. Also it is really frowned upon here to not agree with a specialist. She is going to be intouch next week before henry returns to school and has said i may need to go back in to discuss things if i feel they are not getting any better. This time i really need an action plan and to know exactly what i want from her for henry. Do i ask for a diagnosis to be made by her? In three months our life seems to have been turned upside down, and i feel obsessive about finding out everything there is to know about OCD and how best to help my son. Any advice is gratefully received, and thanks for all your support so far. Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
