One, the case sensitivity of file names. Two, compiled modules have not behaved well on Windows in all cases. We tend to avoid them. Three, the path length has definitely caught us. However, NPM now mitigates that with a new flatter directory structure.
ERP stands for Exposure and Response Prevention. The idea is that you progressively expose the person with OCD to their fear(s), during which, they cannot perform any compulsions. Eventually the brain is retrained and the OCD falls away. For example, someone with a fear of germs would be asked to touch a door handle and then not wash their hands for as long as possible. This is extremely hard for them. However, this simple technique, applied over weeks or months in conjunction with therapy and meds, can reduce a person's OCD to almost nothing.
Another point is that the kids respond to the group setting. They form bonds and support each other during the process.
