Vent away, it helps. Well I hope that during this family therapy the

psychologist will pick up on the OCD and somehow get your son into CBT/ERP --

maybe where your son isn't really realizing that's what the psych is doing.

Like maybe during family therapy talking to him about " expecting those things to

be done " and work on turning that around with a plan for your son. (just

thinking as I type so may not make sense)

Yeah, therapy does seem to end up having us share things about our lives/home

that we'd rather not. But also in just the short explanations seems to put

us/family in some kind of " bad light " as therapist is hearing just excerpts and

hasn't lived with us daily the past years, etc.

I know with one saw, I think the therapist/psych (who was also a

coworker/friend) wanted to concentrate on the sibling problems (not getting

along) as maybe why the OCD started.... I never saw his notes of course, but I

think he thought " home life " was a stressor, though he did give OCD

homework to work on (as much as he could since always went in saying

things were better, he was fine, etc.).

saying that he doesn't need CBT/ERP cos his OCD is no longer a concern for him.

I have watched him over the past few days and he is still doing rituals,

however, cos he is saying he is managing his OCD the pychologist is only going

to do family therapy.
