Hey Reader-

If your child seems to have big reactions to sounds, textures, clothing, food, transitions, or everyday experiences, sensory processing may be playing a bigger role than you realize.

In this episode, I’m joined by occupational therapist Laura Petix, from The OT Butterfly and author of The Sensory Code.

We talk about how parents can better understand their child’s unique sensory needs, recognize what may be happening underneath challenging behavior and big emotions, and respond with more empathy and less frustration.

OCD SUCKS: A Survival Guide was created to give teens and adults practical tools for dealing with OCD without drowning in jargon or endless explanations.

After more than 20 years of working with people with OCD, I’ve taken the strategies I use in therapy and broken them down into simple, straightforward steps you can actually put into practice.

No fluff. No boring lectures. No trying to become an OCD expert.

Just real tools to help you stop letting OCD run the show.

If OCD has been calling the shots, it’s time to take back some control.
