When OCD symptoms fade, it’s natural to feel relief — maybe even believe it’s finally gone. But sometimes, that relief can make us miss the signs of OCD returning in new and surprising ways.
In this episode, I’ll talk about why parents often overlook new OCD themes and what we can do differently. We’ll explore how tunnel vision, limited communication, and lack of education about OCD’s many disguises can cause us to miss the early signs of a relapse. You’ll learn how to celebrate progress without letting your guard down — shifting from a “cured” mindset to one of ongoing recovery. We’ll also cover how to stay educated, keep open communication with your child, and recognize when new behaviors may actually be OCD in disguise. Because when we know what to look for, we can catch OCD before it takes the wheel again.

| 0:08.7 | of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD. This show is for educational purposes and is not |
| 0:14.8 | intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. Here's your host, child therapist, Natasha Daniels. Well, hello there, |
| 0:23.2 | and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Today I want to talk to you |
| 0:28.8 | about something that happens a lot. I see this in my AT parenting community. I saw this in the |
| 0:34.7 | parents and families that I treated in my practice, and that is missing new OCD symptoms. |
| 0:41.2 | And there is a reason why this happens, and there is a very easy way to prevent that from happening. |
| 0:47.3 | We're going to talk all about that. |
| 0:49.2 | But before we jump into today's episode, I want to thank No CD for sponsoring this episode. |

| 1:30.1 | So why do people miss new OCD symptoms? You'd think if their child had OCD before, |
| 1:36.4 | or if your child had OCD before, you're not going to miss it again because it's a doozy. |
| 1:41.7 | It stands out. You would notice it. |
| 1:45.9 | It would debilitate the whole family. |
| 1:47.6 | That's not true. |
| 1:55.0 | So I'm going to talk about the four main reasons why I see people missing OCD symptoms in their kids. |
| 1:58.9 | And then after the break, we'll talk about how you can prevent that from happening. |
| 2:09.3 | The first one is that there is just this relief that it's finally gone, that it's manageable. |
