Summary

Anxiety and OCD are both highly genetic, so it’s not surprising that many parents find themselves raising kids with similar issues. Often though, many of us back burner our own help to focus on our children’s needs.

But what if focusing on your needs also helps your child’s struggles?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Nathan Peterson, an anxiety and OCD therapist, a YouTuber and a course creator.

We talk about how our children’s issues can overlap with our own, and what to do about it.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through
0:08.1	the 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	Hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.
0:29.4	I hope you're doing good.
0:31.0	Today is an episode that is for you, 100% for you.
0:36.8	I invited Nathan Peterson to come on and talk to us or to have a conversation with me for you
0:43.8	about parenting a child with anxiety or OCD when you have your own anxiety or OCD.
0:50.3	And a lot of times we backburner our own struggles because we think,
0:55.6	gosh, we really need to focus on our kids or I only have so much energy.
0:59.2	I really need to like just put all my attention on getting my kids anxiety or OCD and check,
1:04.7	and we backburner our own.
1:07.4	And in my talk with Nathan today, you'll hear us discussing why that's not helpful.
1:13.9	Not only is it not good for you because you deserve the help, but actually how it's not
1:18.6	helpful for your child and how you can weave the two together so that you're not only helping
1:23.1	your kids, but you're helping yourself at the same time without expending more energy.
1:28.2	Because that's really, I think, a big barrier is that we just don't have the energy
1:34.6	or the motivation to work on yet another thing.
1:37.8	So I hope that you enjoy my conversation with Nathan for those of you that do not know him.
1:43.7	Nathan is an anxiety and OCD therapist. He is a licensed clinical social worker, like myself.
