Re: Interesting CBT for the week

[Guest guest]

, lol, that will be interesting! So what is the purpose of curse words?

Is that part of her " just right " OCD?

Happy to hear she's doing so well!

doesnt like it and she has to go through my closet and tell me everything she

doesnt like. Therapist told her she had to say 20 bad words by the time she got

to the car well that was well over 2 hours ago and the only thing she could

muster up was a text message to her dad that said " therapy was crappy " ....lol

She thinks that saying crappy once fulfilled her duty......

Oh, okay. Do let us know how she's doing with it by her next appointment.

> Well the therapist explained it to me but it got a little complicated but

apparently it isnt actually the curse words....its the thought process behind

them. She NEVER says them or thinks about them and feels anxiety when other

people say them (its ok when hubby and i say them) She doesnt do or say anything

mean EVER! Therapist said things like this are the " little " aspects of OCD that

dont always get treated.

Hi ,

So glad to hear you have gotten the medication at an effective dose. I remember

just a few months ago you were struggling with this. What dose ended up being

best? It can make all the difference in their ability to participate in the ERP

therapy, when they are at the optimal dose.

Our son is similar with cursing, and other " moral " things. The only way past it

is to take the power away from the words by using them, repeatedly, or exposing

yourself to them somehow (which isn't too hard usually!). Ours still doesn't

swear, but is ok with hearing it and he wasn't before. I used to think I just

had a well mannered kid - now I know it was OCD making him be so " good " .

Good luck with this ERP!!! Keep us posted.

Warmly,

Barb
