0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival
0:16.1	Podcast. Today I want to talk to you about sensory struggles because a very common comorbid condition with anxiety and OCD is sensory difficulties.
0:30.4	So some kids are diagnosed with sensory processing disorder, SPD, as well as anxiety or OCD because they are kind of like two peas in a pod.
0:40.0	Or you just happen to have a very sensitive kid both emotionally and physically.
0:47.0	So it's a good topic for us because even though it's not directly about anxiety or OCD, it's a side note that many of us are struggling with.
0:57.0	And so you might need some help with that.
1:00.4	And of course, I have experience with that on a personal and professional level because we live it, eat it, and breathe it at my house.
1:07.0	And I feel like because I have three kids, I have a sampling of every single problem.
1:16.9	Which is kind of all funny, but if you don't laugh, you're going to cry. So today I want to go over a little bit about how sensory issues manifest in anxious kids.
1:23.7	I'm going to talk to you about different coping mechanisms
1:27.5	to teach your kids, and we'll go through them

1:35.6	coming up this week that are pretty exciting that will help you if you have a
1:39.4	child with sensory issues. So stay tuned for that at the end. So let's get into the difference first between anxiety and sensory issues and OCD.
1:50.0	So I'm not going to delve too deep into this, but I do want to mention it right from the get-go so that we're all talking about the same beast.
2:00.0	Because I do feel like when it comes to sensory issues and my world of anxiety and OCD,
2:05.3	it gets a little squishy and it morphs and it gets very gray.
2:10.1	And so sometimes I'll hear people talking about things that are not sensory and they're more like just right OCD.
2:17.0	And then a lot of times I'll hear people calling it OCD and in my head I'm thinking this isn't OCD this is pure sensory and I think a lot of mental health
2:27.1	professionals in the world who aren't really schooled on the differentiation, maybe they don't understand sensory stuff,
