5day Intensive OCD Clinic at Mayo

Deedee and DCMom --

 

I am green with envy over you guys going to FL for the Storch/Murphy program. I've heard nothing but great things about that intensive, and having met Dr. Storch at the IOCDF conference last year, hearing him speak and reading many of his papers, I find he and his colleagues SO impressive in every way: knowledgable, compassionate, experienced, etc.

 

Please drop a fresh topic when you get back and fill us in. We have a very good therapist and psychiatrist team here and pay pretty hefty prices for weekly therapy during the "ramped up" times and somewhat less regular sessions during the tamer periods, so I'm not sure our DS would have a whole lot to gain from the intensive or that we could afford it, either. But I am very curious about it and hold it in reserve, myself, for the "if we can't get this under control here, then . . . . " sort of peace of mind.

 

Travel safely and good luck!

 

 

We have used Dr. Storch and team as well.....VERY helpful and good! He does know of PANDAS but truly, the treatment is the same for PANDAS or not. We have treated 2 kids with him and one has PANDAS diagnosis beforehand and the other did not. CBT / ERP is still the protocol and incredible tools for the toolbox (even for non-OCD people like me!!). Can't say enought great things about Eric Storch and how incredibly "together" his whole staff is! I am so glad you all will be seeing him.....you will be glad you did it!! And, just as a side note, my kids turned out to have Lyme and Bartonella on top of it all. The skills they learned there, still incredibly valuable and used! Best Wishes!! Soak it all in!!
