Thanks Gemma ?

Hi Gemma Thanks for the reply and the tips for books - I'll have a look at them. We've just got one called "What to do when your brain gets stuck" - by Dawn Huebner which we're going to start going through with him. I don't know if anyone is familiar with it/know if it's any good? We've also started him seeing a private therapist but not sure how long we can afford that. Good news on the project starting soon. We are finding it hard to know whether we're helping or hindering - it's heartbreaking watching him struggle. Thanks again Gemma ?

Hi I was wondering whether this project had got off the ground yet? My 11 yo son is really struggling with anxiety and obsessive thoughts about contamination and germs and we've still not even got an assessment from CAMHS yet, never mind support, 8 months after referral. My wife and I are trying to support him the best we can but often fear we are doing the wrong things and are also trying to help his 8 yo sister understand the difficulties her brother is dealing with.
