Doug, I don't know specifically if your therapy was breached,and if doing what you did on your dorm room floor made you very ill, then I would say that that might be counter productive (just my thoughts)At the same time, being very afraid of drugs on your feet from a party and possibly ingesting them IS NOT just an irrational fear! However I would think that you and your therapist might be able to compromise and find a better way to expose you to your fears! I think the idea of ET is to help make you better, NOT physically sick! I don't see how making you ill could make you feel better! Afterall being stomach sick is in itself an irrational fear in many people with OCD.
