We have been trying to work on my little girl's OCD for months now. Nothing seems to be working, and its seemingly worse now than it was when we started her therapy sessions. Over the last two months she has developed a problem with her cups that she drinks out of. She cant drink out of them unless she has a lid to cover it up with. She's afraid that germs or "invisible bugs" will get into it and then get into her body. She has collected the lids from the small butter buckets that we use and they can only be used for her cups. I'm worried about it, because its gotten to the point that shes started asking about "big girl sippy cups" that will keep everything out, and still let the liquid out. I'm begginning to think that her therapist may have a point in thinking that she is on the verge of becoming agoraphobic. I've been researching her condition and have found a few things that may help, but so far nothing has been effective.....maybe it just needs more time?
