This Crazy Life

In OCD therapy this week her goal was to try to unlock the door into her area of the house and stand there for even 30 seconds with it unlocked.  She doesn’t have to open the door.  Just unlock it and tolerate it.  She thought she could maybe do that.  Well guess what!  Her twin sister text her that she was bored and wanted to do her hair or makeup.  After some texting with me to reassure her that no one would get into her space or mess with her area while she was gone, she did it!  She left her area of the house.  And came up into the main house space and into her sister’s room and let her do her hair and makeup.  She was up there for probably 90 minutes.  They were talking and laughing and having a good time.  We were cooking dinner at the same time so there were even food smells in the house.  So, we talked about that in OCD therapy this week.  And how proud we are of her.  And how much fun she had doing that.  And if she would do it again.  And maybe if her sister didn’t ask her, she could ask her to come up.   And I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I am going to take the wins and live in them when I can get them!
