Parents are in the best position to help their kids the most


Hey Reader-

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD can bring so much doubt and exhaustion. It can also bring so much instability for the whole family. It can impact your other children and it can put a strain on your relationships with other family members.


But it doesn’t have to be that way.

When you are surrounded by other people who get your struggles, you feel heard. When you are in the company of people who have been where you are, you get answers. When other parents have your back, you feel less alone and more empowered to take this struggle on.

That’s why I created the AT Parenting Community. As a mom to three kids with anxiety and OCD, I get all the exhaustion and overwhelm anxiety and OCD can bring.

But as a therapist, I also get how powerful it is for a parent to get their own support to help their child directly. In fact, that’s exactly what I saw with the parents in my practice whose kids were having the most success. They didn’t depend on therapy to fix everything. They get that therapy is only part of the equation and that they are the rest.

In the AT Parenting Community parents will not only find people who “get it,” they’ll find a wealth of resources, support and help at their fingertips.

Unfortunately because I spend most of my time giving parents support inside the community, I am only doing this opening for 3 days. The AT Community is closing its doors today.

If you have been looking to get super-sized support on steroids. If you have been searching for a place where everyone gets anxiety and OCD. If you have been looking for a place where answers are simple, but effective...

Quiz: Could your child’s behaviors be signs of OCD?

Even if you’re familiar with OCD, it can be hard to recognize in your child. Many of its signs are subtle, easily overlooked, or misunderstood—and when they resemble common childhood behaviors, it can leave you second-guessing what’s typical and what might need closer attention. This free OCD quiz can help you understand whether your child’s behaviors fit common OCD symptoms, and what next steps might make sense for your family.


If your child is experiencing signs of OCD, NOCD Therapists can help. Our therapists provide evidence-based OCD treatment for people of all ages—including children as young as 5 and teens. Book a free call to learn more.

Take care,
Natasha

ARFID can look like OCD, anxiety, extreme picky eating, or even a traditional eating disorder, which is why so many parents feel confused about what they are actually dealing with. In this week's podcast episode, I break down the five types of ARFID, avoidant, aversive, restrictive, mixed, and ARFID plus, and explain how each one presents differently. We also talk about how ARFID overlaps with OCD and anxiety, when exposure and response prevention is the right fit, and when a feeding...

Most parents think they know what their child’s OCD looks like. They see the washing. The checking. The obvious behaviors. But what they’re usually seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. OCD isn’t only handwashing or checking. It’s mental reviewing, silent debating, internal checking, trying to “neutralize” a thought, confessing, reassurance seeking, avoidance, symmetry rituals, and that constant need for things to feel just right. Many of the most powerful compulsions happen completely...

Harm OCD is one of the most frightening and misunderstood themes of OCD, especially when it shows up in children. Intrusive thoughts about hurting oneself or someone else can feel shocking, confusing, and deeply distressing for both kids and parents. These thoughts often clash with a child’s true values, which is exactly why they feel so intense. In my lastest podcast episode, we gently unpack what harm OCD really is and what it is not. We talk about the difference between intrusive thoughts...
