Summary

OCD can wreak havoc in any family. But one sub-type of OCD that can be particularly painful is emotional contamination OCD. Emotional contamination issues can hurt family relationships and confuse parents.Sadly most people, even mental health professionals, understand very little about how OCD can manifest. OCD isn’t just about germs and constant cleaning. OCD has many themes and sub-types. It is so important for families raising kids with OCD to educate themselves on the various ways OCD can show up. The best defense against OCD is to recognize it’s many disguises.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I discuss what emotional contamination OCD is and how it shows up in children and teens.***You also don’t want to miss Alisha’s Picky Eating Workshop Series outlining the 2-Step Process to moving your child From picky eater to healthy child.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the
0:08.2	Chaos of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD. This show is for educational purposes and is not
0:14.8	intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your
0:18.9	host Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:28.0	Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT parenting Surpipa Podcast. Today I'm going to get into a form of OCD that a lot of parents don't know about, but if you're
0:37.2	raising a child with OCD, and I say this all the time, you really need to be an

1:10.5	exposures to pull out that weed. I use a weed analogy a lot. We want to check
1:16.0	our backyard and we want to pull out those weeds. And I see all too often parents staying
1:21.9	in their lane and saying, you know, my child only has this theme.
