Summary

Unfortunately many people believe, including some mental health professionals, that in order to have OCD you must have a core fear. Sadly, many people get misdiagnosed because people are searching up, down and all around for a fear. But OCD doesn’t have to be an intrusive thought, it can also be an intrusive feeling.Many people with OCD will have an overwhelming feeling of disgust or grossness. This feeling causes so much discomfort that they will do everything in their power to avoid it. That is why they often develop compulsions and extreme avoidance. In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how disgust and grossness play a role in OCD.To join my FREE 3-Part Video Series: Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD go to http://bit.ly/survivaltoolsforparents ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Let me become your $5 mini-coach.

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.
0:12.1	This show is for educational purposes and is not
0:14.8	intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your

0:40.3	that OCD doesn't have to always do with fear.
0:44.0	And I think a lot of mental health therapists actually get this wrong too,
0:48.0	because I have had a lot of people in my AT parenting community
0:52.0	and online in general say to me,
0:54.3	oh well you know the therapist says if he doesn't have a fear
0:58.2	if he doesn't have a core fear or belief behind why he's doing that
1:01.8	then it can't be O. C.
1:03.2	That's so not accurate.
1:06.2	I don't understand. Okay, a little bit of a soapbox right now, but I don't understand why
1:10.8	there's not enough information and education on OCD. So that's why I try to
