[QUOTE="Josie, post: 484521, member: 1792"] My daughter did exposure therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). For that, it was clear what triggered her. The therapist put her in that situation and had her feel the anxiety and see that it would go away on its own. No one can maintain that intense level of anxiety for too long, according to the theory. They started small and worked up, but it was important to feel that anxiety every time. She worked with a therapist and was supposed to do more at home. It was too intense for her to do at home, so I had her see the therapist more. She has had a low frustration tolerance in the past, too. For her, I am not sure how we would have set up the exposures. It seemed like everything could set her off. If there is one thing that consistently frustrates him, I could see it being helpful. My daughter has been able to use that method for other anxieties that have come up and they never got out of hand. I think it is important that he know what you are doing, knows when it is going to happen, and is given some coping strategies. If the therapist is just talking about being more firm with him, I am skeptical. [/QUOTE]
