Summary

OCD wants us to take its threats seriously. It wants us to debate with it, argue, and come up with solutions to circumvent the issues it presents.

Afraid of germs - let’s think of ways you can avoid it.

Afraid you’ll turn into something you aren’t - let’s remind yourself that you are a good person.

Afraid you forgot something - let’s develop ways you can remember.

All of these solutions are created based on the validity of what OCD is saying. When we learn how to unhook from the stories OCD wants to sell us, we weaken OCD’s grip.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how these issues can show up and how we can teach our kids and teens to not get caught in OCD’s trap.

0:08.1	the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.

0:31.1	Today I want to talk to you about something that I think is really important,
0:34.2	and that is how to teach our kids to not engage with OCD.
0:38.6	And I didn't realize the level of importance that this
0:41.8	has on our kids' ability to really crush OCD and make it tiny,
0:47.4	until I was having a support group call with a bunch of teenagers,
0:51.6	and I realized it just happened to be that one particular call.
0:54.6	There were so many erroneous beliefs around
0:58.0	how they were approaching OCD and how they were dancing with OCD.
1:02.2	We had a lot of new people in the support group call,

1:11.8	But it made me realize to what extent that this foundational piece of
