Summary
It is hard to accept that our child has anxiety or OCD. It is even harder to accept the pain, discomfort and struggle they have to go through each day. But often we spend so much energy trying to swim upstream we get lost in the struggle.
In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the role acceptance can play not only in our lives, but in the lives of our children.
This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD. NOCD provides online OCD therapy in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. To schedule your free 15 minute consultation to see if NOCD is a right fit for you and your child, go to

| 0:18.0 | Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels. |
| 0:22.1 | Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. |
| 0:29.4 | I hope you're doing well today. |
| 0:31.0 | I want to talk to you about a mindset issue or thing because I feel like so much of how we can help |
| 0:41.8 | our kids with anxiety or OCD comes from our own mindset, our own perspective, and take on what's |
| 0:49.3 | happening, how we're going to approach it, and how we're going to help our kids. |
| 0:54.1 | And so I want to talk about leaning into acceptance, and I'm going to explain to you what I mean by |
| 1:02.2 | that, how I'm trying to do that in my own life, and how we can use that, and also teach our |

| 1:45.4 | So let's just talk about acceptance versus resistance. A lot of us don't want to accept that our |

| 1:58.6 | going to have issues and bumps in the road, and that this is their journey. But a lot of times |
