Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels

Hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

I hope your holidays went well, we're kind of past them, getting back into the swing of

things, we kind of tricky getting back into routine, which I know can be even harder for our

kids with anxiety or OCD and hard for us.

So I hope that you are navigating through the new year.

Today I want to talk to you about a really general topic but it is hands down the number one

question I get asked in the AT Parenting Community.

In fact, we do live classes every Friday and the community they vote on the topic that we're

going to talk about and it's ironic that this topic is brought up every time we have new members

come in and I've probably have taught this class in the community, you know, I can't look at

maybe half a dozen times so I want to talk to you about it.

And that is, you know, how do we help our kids with intrusive thoughts?

I think a lot of times people think that that is a unique question or it's something very specific

to them and I want to start off with saying to you that intrusive thoughts are kind of the

meat and potatoes of OCD and so I'm going to talk about how do we help our kids with those.

But before I get started talking about the meat and potatoes of OCD, this episode is sponsored by

NoCD who is providing the meat and potatoes of treatment for people with OCD in this country
