What shows up when you are trying to help your child with OCD or anxiety?

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

I know for me, I’m rarely a blank slate ready to tackle my child’s anxiety or OCD head on. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed. Sometimes I’m irritated. Sometimes I’m paralyzed with what-ifs.

This is normal. We are human and our thoughts, feelings and emotions are intermingled with whatever we are faced with - including our children’s struggles.

But often our issues prevent us from being completely present for our child. Sometimes our fears, overwhelm and anger can cloud our intentions and impact our ability to effectively help them.

In my brand new free series, How to Be an Effective Anchor for Your Child with OCD or Anxiety, I’m going to walk you through how to identify your strong emotions and how to effectively anchor yourself so you can be a more productive anchor for your child.

Building Trust When Your Child Has OCD

In my latest podcast episode, we explore why trust is the foundation for helping a child with OCD. When trust is missing, kids shut down, hide their struggles, and resist therapeutic strategies.

Even small shifts can strengthen your relationship and make real progress possible.

Take care,
Natasha

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

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...
