Revealing the Truth all Parents Raising Kids with OCD Need to Know

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read

Are you struggling to find a child therapist who specializes in OCD? Or have you found someone who says they treat OCD, but clearly doesn’t have the expertise or knowledge to treat your child 😩.

​
💣 Here is a truth bomb…

​
Believe it or not, most therapists are NOT given the specialized training to treat OCD. That’s a scary fact! And without that training, they can do more harm than good. Just ask parents who went to the wrong therapist.

​
You shouldn’t have to sit around watching your child get worse and worse as you wait for help or unknowingly have your child get the wrong help.

​
Even when you are lucky enough to find a therapist…

​
You still need guidance on what you can do at home, on what you must do at home, in order to see real progress.

​
That’s why committed parents take an active role in helping their child, no matter what situation they are in.

​
As an Anxiety and OCD child therapist and mom to three kids with those struggles, I get the feeling of isolation, hopelessness and overwhelm raising a child with anxiety or OCD can bring.

​
That is why I am once again hosting my popular FREE video series, ​Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD​. You deserve a complete roadmap on how to help your child directly.

​
FREE Series Starts April 16th

Parents who have started on this journey know they need to get as many resources as they can to arm them with skills and knowledge.

​
And that is exactly what you will get when you join me in my 3-part video series. The series consists of on-demand videos, so you can watch the series anytime the series is running.
​

​
I’ll see you in the series!

​
Take care,
Natasha

Parents often hear the same questions from their child again and again, and it can be hard to know if answering is helping or making things worse. In this week's podcast episode, I break down the important difference between anxiety reassurance and OCD reassurance. While anxiety and OCD reassurance can look similar on the surface, they serve very different purposes. Anxiety reassurance often comes from a child not trusting their ability to cope, while OCD reassurance acts as a compulsion that...

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.
