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 how to improve your child's life with OCD in a bigger picture, you know, just their overall, the overall struggles that

kids with OCD have. And we're going to talk about what those are in different capacities of

their life. And I'm excited because I invited Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz to the show, who I have

been a long-term fan of. He is a licensed clinical psychologist. He has a private

practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders. He is really a

leading authority on these topics. He's a professor, an associate chair of psychology at the

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

And I've always enjoyed listening to him talk about OCD and his methods, his thoughts around it, because he's very articulate.

And I feel like he simplifies things.

And I always love people who have really solid clinical sound advice.

And they can communicate that in a really effective way.

And he's got the gift of that.

He has a new book out called Living Well with OCD, which is a book that is targeted for adults with OCD.

But I read it and it's a fantastic read for parents too, even though it's not geared towards parents.

It's geared towards the sufferer. but I feel like it is a really helpful roadmap of the different

areas that we need to navigate as parents helping our kids, teens and young adults with OCD.

I also think it's a fantastic book to recommend to our older teens and young adults because

it is an easy read and it does encompass so much more than ERP exposure response prevention.
