himself. He also ejaculates frequently in his room. How can I stop
it?

cords). How can I diminish or extinguish this?
36:00 I have a 12-yr-old who keeps making himself vomit several
times a day. How do we stop this?
42:47 When a child has an extreme fear or reaction towards people,
specifically men, would this be a deficit in social interaction

just let it happen?
