Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through

the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.

This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of

a qualified professional.

Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.

Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

Today I want to talk to you about a topic that's actually come up during my free series

that was going on all last week and the week before.

We're talking about self-care and not in the way that you normally think about self-care.

We're talking about, you know, our perceptions and our mindset, how we show up for these

problems and a lot of discussion started to happen around detachment and I like to say

lovingly detach from our children's anxiety or OCD.

A lot of people had questions about how do you do this?

So I told them, you know what?

I actually thought I had an episode already on this and I didn't or I missed it or I

might have talked about it in a different topic and that's why I thought I talked about

it, but I feel like this would be a really good episode for everyone out there raising

a child with anxiety or OCD to explore why do we detach, like because that sounds like

a bad word, right, detach.

So I want to talk about why it's helpful, I want to talk about what detachment isn't and

then I want to talk about how do you lovingly detach.

So it's a three-parter for today and I hope that you find it helpful.
