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's Revival Podcast.

Today I want to talk to you about, it's a little bit of a technical topic, but honestly

stick with me, it's going to be helpful in you understanding how to help your child with

OCD and some of the changes that have been happening over actually quite a long period

of time.

So I'm going to be talking about the inhibitory learning model, which I know can sound a

little boring, but stick with me, because it does impact some of the old understandings

of how we approach OCD and some of how OCD treatment in general is changing.

And yes, as a parent, you do need to know that because you might say, well Natasha, this

sounds like a clinical podcast episode or this sounds like it's an episode for clinicians.

And yes, clinicians might find this really interesting, might they want a deeper dive

on this, but it's important for you as a parent to know, not that you have to know the nitty-gritty

about research, but it's helpful for you to know how to tweak your approaches to OCD

at home, because you are supposed to be helping your child.

And even if you don't want to do that or you don't know how to do that, it's not really

a choice.

You're at the front, you're in the front lines.
