Summary
OCD can be stigmatizing enough, but when you add sexual themes it can add another layer of guilt and shame.
It can also make parents and even therapists uncomfortable!
How are you supposed to deal with a sexual intrusive thought that makes you squirm? What if your child’s lack of motivation is due to the embarrassment over the content of their thoughts?
I invited Tracie Ibrahim, an OCD therapist with NOCD to help me unpack the many ways sexual themes can pop up and how to help them through it!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the |
| 0:08.2 | 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 | Well, hello there and welcome to the episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | Today I want to talk to you about something that none of us want to talk about. |
| 0:32.8 | Well, that's probably not true, maybe some of you do. |
| 0:35.8 | But I think it's important to normalize sexual themes around OCD in children and teens |
