Summary

Child OCD Therapy is important—but it’s not the whole answer.

In this episode, child therapist and OCD parent Natasha Daniels explains why therapy alone isn’t enough to help a child with OCD truly thrive.

You’ll learn how your daily responses can either empower your child’s progress—or unintentionally grow their OCD.

Discover practical ways to become a supportive, confident, and crucial part of your child’s treatment journey. Because when parents know what to do, real change happens at home.
