Tiffany Jenkins has been the authentic face of mental health struggles on the internet for years. She offers a candid, raw, and often humorous view of her struggles with sobriety and mental health, helping normalize these issues for millions of people.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to have Tiffany back on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to discuss her new book, A Clean Mess, and dive deeper into how her anxiety, OCD, and depression showed up after her kids were born.

We explored:

Her experience with Postpartum Depression and the apathy it created
How she was diagnosed with Harm OCD after years of thinking she had just anxiety
Coping with a partner who doesn’t have the capacity to understand or empathize with mental health struggles
How she talks about her mental health to her 9 and 10 year old children
How she navigates her mental health while millions of people watch

Does your child feel responsible for everything? This might be why.

Our kids' big hearts are one of the many things we love about them, so it can be painful to see them blame themselves for events that are out of their control. In these situations, a subtype of OCD called Responsibility OCD might be at play. You might notice your kid constantly checking, excessively apologizing, or feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt about things far beyond their control. But there’s hope—exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy has been proven effective for children with all themes of OCD, including this one.

Read more about what Responsibility OCD can look like, and how ERP therapy can restore your child's confidence.

If you or your child needs help, NOCD Therapists are specially-trained in ERP therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD, and accept more than 60 insurance plans to help individuals and families regain their lives. Book a free call to learn more.

Take care,
