Summary

Ben was always an anxious child, but behind that anxiety lurked something else. It took a stay in a treatment center for eating disorders and eight therapists to finally get the help he truly needed, with the diagnosis he actually had - OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, Ben walks us through his journey with OCD, from his inability to share his intrusive thoughts, to his unrelenting search to find an effective therapist trained in OCD.

Ben is determined to be a part of the effort to remove the stigma attached to OCD, especially for men who all too often do not find help and strength complimentary words.

0:00.0	Welcome to the AT parenting survival podcast, where you get help and guidance through the
0:07.3	chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.
0:11.2	This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the
0:15.0	guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your host child therapist Natasha
0:20.3	Daniels. Well hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting T someone's OCD struggle, their struggle to deal with their intrusive thoughts, their
0:36.2	struggle to communicate that to other people, then their struggle with the mental health
0:42.3	world, not identifying their issue as
0:45.1	O. C. D. And then even when they knew it was O. C. D. the struggle to find the right
0:49.3	treatment. It's unfortunately a journey that is not unique in the predictability of not getting the diagnosis and the struggle to find treatment providers.
1:02.0	But I think everybody's story has its own unique essence and I want to bring to you Ben Ellis's story today who was brave enough to agree to come on and share his story
1:14.6	because he realizes that there's not enough male voices out there,
1:18.8	young male voices helping other guys realize that it is not weak to get help, that their intrusive
1:26.9	thoughts are common and they're not a horrible disgusting person and I think
1:32.4	hearing it directly from other young man is
1:36.2	therapeutic so I was very excited that Ben decided to come on my show and
1:41.5	share his story because he's very inspiring and I hope that you find his story
1:46.7	helpful and are able to share it with your child or your teen or your young adult so that they can know that they are not alone because that's really the goal.
1:56.0	Before we jump into my interview with Ben, I want to thank No CED actually for sponsoring this episode.
2:02.0	No CED offers affordable, effective, convenient therapy.
2:06.5	They're available in the US and outside of the US.
2:09.5	And you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if no CD is a right fit for you and your
2:15.8	child. Just go to treat my O.CD.com. That's treat my O.CD.com. I'll leave a link in the show
