Summary

Anxiety and OCD come in many flavors. Often we even name these flavors with various titles like symmetry OCD, Harm OCD, Separation Anxiety, Emetophobia etc.

Does it really matter what theme of anxiety or OCD my child has?

Yes and no.

There are pitfalls to wearing blinders and only focusing on your child’s anxiety or OCD theme.

However there are also incredible benefits to understanding the various ways anxiety and OCD can show up.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I will talk about the good, the bad and the ugly related to understanding your child’ anxiety and OCD themes and how to use them to catapult your child’s progress.

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 intended to replace the guidance of
0:16.5	a qualified professional.
0:18.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:22.1	Well, hello there and welcome to the episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
0:29.0	Today we're going to be talking about themes, anxiety themes, OCD themes, and why they're
0:35.3	important.
0:36.3	And also why they're not important, just to make things super confusing.
0:41.4	But everyone has a different view on these things.
0:43.7	I don't know why.
0:45.1	This is actually kind of a controversial topic, believe it or not, in the OCD community.
0:49.2	And I want to talk to you about why I feel like themes are helpful, but with a caveat
0:54.2	of why they're not.
0:55.6	Because like everything else in this world, it's not black and white, right?
0:59.3	So there's a little bit of gray and I want to go into what that gray is, how as parents

1:08.9	about and how to find themes.
