Hey Reader-

Sometimes doing the right thing for your child’s OCD can feel completely wrong.

When you start pulling back accommodations, your child may actually become more distressed, irritable, or angry. That can leave you wondering: Am I helping, or am I making this worse?

In this week’s episode, I talk about why things can get harder when you stop participating in OCD, what that increased distress actually means, and how to support your child without accidentally getting pulled right back into the OCD cycle.

​​Check out OCD Sucks on Audible!​

​OCD Sucks: A Survival Guide was written for teens and adults who want practical OCD help without having to wade through a giant, dry textbook. It gets straight to the point and focuses on the skills that actually help you stop playing OCD’s games and start taking your life back.

And yes, I narrated it myself. 😬😂

You can now get the audiobook on Audible, along with the paperback, Kindle and other available formats.

If you listen to it, I’d love to know what you think!

If you’ve read the book and left a review on Amazon or Goodreads, hit reply and let me know! I’d like to personally thank you.
