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,

recently that's brand new, and that actually might be even more popular, we will see.

But parents love this series because I give you practical tools on how to help your child's

anxiety or SUD right away. And so we go over communication and trust. We go over

identifying core fears. We go over where are you supposed to start your entry point no matter where
