What Good Communication Actually Looks Like with Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Good communication can feel like the missing piece when you’re raising a child with anxiety or OCD. You’re talking, explaining, reassuring, and trying to help, but somehow the conversations still feel stuck, tense, or like they’re going nowhere.

In this episode, I unpack what good communication actually looks like, and why it’s not about saying the perfect thing or fixing the problem in the moment.

We’ll talk about how communication builds trust, how to recognize what might be shutting it down, and why slowing down and focusing on connection can often move things forward more than pushing for change.

If you are a parent who feels like every conversation turns into a struggle, or your child shuts down, gets defensive, or won’t open up, this episode will help you rethink where to start and how to create the kind of communication that actually supports progress.

The Power of the Pause in Your Child’s Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

When our child is anxious or stuck in OCD, everything can feel urgent. The questions, the reassurance seeking, the distress, the pressure to fix it right away. As parents, our instinct is often to respond quickly so we can calm things down. But sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause.

In this episode, I talk about the power of the pause and why slowing down our response can actually help our kids build resilience and break the anxiety and OCD cycle. A pause gives us space to respond intentionally instead of reacting out of stress, fear, or urgency. It also models for our kids that discomfort doesn’t have to be solved immediately.

If you are a parent who feels pulled to jump in quickly when your child is anxious, asks for reassurance, or gets stuck in OCD loops, this episode will help you see how a small pause can create big shifts in how you support your child.

An Important Difference Between Anxiety vs OCD Reassurance

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

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 episode, I break down the important difference between anxiety reassurance and OCD reassurance.

While they 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 keeps the OCD cycle going. Knowing the difference can change how you respond.

If you are a parent who feels stuck answering the same worries, fears, or “what if” questions, this episode will help you understand when reassurance supports your child and when it unintentionally grows anxiety and OCD.

ARFID: Is It OCD, Anxiety, or an Eating Disorder?

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

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 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 therapist or occupational therapist may be the better route. Understanding what is driving your child’s food restriction is the key to getting the right help.

If you are a parent trying to figure out whether your child’s eating struggles are fear based, sensory based, or something else entirely, this episode will give you clarity and direction.

OCD Compulsions Parents Don’t See

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

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 inside your child’s mind, which means you will never see all of them.

In this episode, we’re talking about how OCD really works, why you can’t be the OCD police, and how to shift from trying to catch compulsions to teaching your child the skills to delay and resist them. Because empowerment, not surveillance, is what actually builds long term resilience.

If you want detailed guidance on how to teach your child to handle OCD at home, you can learn more at www.natashadaniels.com/parentcourse.

If you are a parent who feels like you’re missing something but can’t quite see what OCD is doing behind the scenes, this episode is for you.

Harm OCD in Children: The Fear of Harming Yourself or Others

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

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 this episode, we gently unpack what harm OCD really is and what it is not. We talk about the difference between intrusive thoughts and intent, and why fear can so easily be mistaken for danger. When parents understand the OCD cycle and how it attaches to what matters most, they are better equipped to respond with clarity instead of panic.

If you are a parent who has ever felt your heart drop after hearing your child share a scary thought, or if your child has ever been terrified of their own mind, this episode is for you.

How to Tell When Your Child’s OCD Is Involving You

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

OCD rarely stays contained inside your child’s mind. It often pulls parents directly into the cycle through reassurance questions, confessing, repeated checking, cleaning rituals, avoidance rules, or even scripting exactly what you are allowed to say.

If you feel like you are constantly answering the same questions, following invisible rules, or walking on eggshells, OCD may be involving you more than you realize.

In this episode, we break down how to identify family accommodation, how to decide what to stop doing first, and how to respond in a way that supports your child while shrinking OCD. You will learn simple, practical steps to move from being part of OCD’s system to becoming part of your child’s recovery.

How to Tell the Difference Between Anxiety, OCD, and “Just Kid Worries”

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

How do you know if your child is just worried, anxious, or dealing with OCD?

Kids worry. That’s normal. But sometimes fear sticks around longer than it should and starts to take over daily life. In this episode, I break down the differences between typical kid worries, anxiety, and OCD so you can better understand what your child is really struggling with.

We talk about:

-What developmentally typical fears and worries include

-How anxiety shows up over time

-How OCD includes intrusive thoughts and the urge to do something for relief

-Why treatment looks different for anxiety versus OCD

If you have ever wondered whether something is developmentally normal or a sign your child needs extra support, this episode will help you make sense of it.

You are not overreacting for paying attention. Understanding the difference is the first step to helping your child get unstuck.

When Progress Makes OCD Panic: Why Symptoms Spike Right Before They Get Better

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode, we talk about one of the most confusing and discouraging moments for parents raising a child with OCD, when things seem to get worse right as you start doing the right things.

Many parents interpret a sudden spike in distress, anger, or compulsions as a sign that therapy is not working. But often, this increase in symptoms is actually a sign that OCD feels threatened. When OCD accommodations are reduced or exposures begin, OCD does not quietly step aside, it escalates. This episode explains why that happens and what it means for your child’s recovery.

You will learn what an extinction burst looks like in real life, how to tell the difference between a true setback and a growth spike, and why your child may appear more dysregulated even though they are building resilience. We also talk about the most common mistakes parents make during this phase, like backing off boundaries too quickly or returning to reassurance out of fear, and how those well-intended responses can accidentally strengthen OCD.

Most importantly, this episode focuses on how to stay grounded as a parent when your child is struggling more. We cover what supportive responses sound like, how to emotionally hold your child without feeding OCD, and how to keep your long-term goals in mind when short-term distress shows up.

If you have ever thought, “We were doing better, why is this suddenly worse?” this episode will help you understand what is really happening and how to stay the course with confidence and compassion.

Why Rationalizing With Your Child’s OCD Makes It Worse

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I break down why logical explanations, reassurance, and “talking it through” so often backfire when your child has OCD. While rationalizing may feel supportive and calming in the moment, it actually feeds the OCD cycle and strengthens your child’s need for certainty.

I explain what OCD really is, how it operates in the brain, and why it isn’t a problem of logic or understanding. You’ll learn why reasoning with OCD increases doubt instead of resolving it, and how these well-intentioned responses can unintentionally keep your child stuck.

Most importantly, I share a different way to respond, one that supports your child without engaging the OCD, reduces family exhaustion, and helps you feel more confident in the moment.

This episode is for parents who feel like they are constantly explaining, reassuring, or debating—and are ready for a more effective approach.

Interview with Mia Mason, Author of Worry’s Whispers a Graphic Novel About OCD and Anxiety

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 11:00:00 GMT

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, I sit down with Mia Mason, the creative force behind Worry’s Whispers, a beautifully illustrated collection of poems that gives voice to anxiety, fear, and the quiet corners of the inner world that so many of us know all too well.

Mia and I explore the origins of her work, what inspired her to turn internal dialogue into poetic expression, and how Worry’s Whispers serves as both a mirror and a companion for people navigating anxiety — whether persistent, sudden, quiet, or loud.

In this episode we break down:

Why poetry can be a powerful tool for emotional expression — especially for those who struggle to articulate internal experiences.
How Worry’s Whispers uniquely captures the nuanced textures of worry without judgment, offering readers comfort through recognition rather than prescription.
The creative process behind the book — from inspiration to illustration — and how Mia uses language and imagery to normalize the experience of anxiety.
Mia’s perspective on the importance of finding the right therapist who is qualified to address anxiety and OCD.

Throughout the conversation, Mia’s warmth, vulnerability, and insight shine through, providing real encouragement for anyone whose inner world sometimes feels overwhelming. Tune in to hear Mia’s story, wisdom, and words of encouragement.

How to Find the Right Help for Your Child with OCD

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 11:00:00 GMT

When parents start looking for help for a child with OCD, the process can feel confusing, overwhelming, and high-stakes. Between therapy options, medication questions, and different levels of care, it’s hard to know what actually matters — and what doesn’t.

In this episode, I break down what parents really need to know when seeking treatment for OCD.

We talk about why the therapist’s training matters more than their degree, and what specific approaches are most effective for OCD. I explain the importance of evidence-based modalities like CBT with ERP, ACT, and why family involvement is essential, especially for kids and teens.

I also walk through the different levels of care, from outpatient therapy to intensive and residential programs, and how to know when a higher level of support may be appropriate.

For parents considering more intensive treatment, I share key questions to ask programs so you can better understand whether the environment is truly appropriate for a child with anxiety or OCD, including how much individual therapy is provided, the mix of diagnoses in the program, and the overall level of safety and stability.

Finally, I touch on several well-known OCD treatment programs parents often hear about, and how to think through these options thoughtfully.

This episode is designed to help parents feel more informed, more grounded, and more confident as they navigate treatment decisions, because finding the right support can make a meaningful difference in your child’s recovery.

Do You Have Enough Support Helping Your Child with OCD?

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Parenting a child with OCD can feel incredibly isolating. Your child is on their own journey with anxiety or OCD, but that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to navigate it alone.

In this episode, I talk about one of the most overlooked pieces of helping kids with OCD: parent support.

I explore questions like:

Who do you turn to when things feel overwhelming?
Do you have access to other parents who get it?
Do you have a safe place to vent without judgment?
Are you surrounded by people who can validate your struggles and share what’s helped them?
Does your child have access to age-appropriate support beyond just you?

I also share why having a community matters so much when you’re raising a child with anxiety or OCD — not just for emotional support, but for practical tools, shared wisdom, and grounding perspective when OCD is loud.

At the end of the episode, I talk about the AT Parenting Community, which is currently open for a limited time. Inside the community, parents get access to:

A supportive space to connect with other parents raising kids with anxiety and OCD
Live classes, on-demand courses and support group calls for parents, kids and teens
Helpful resources and ongoing education
A place to private message me and other parents questions
A safe, understanding environment where you don’t have to explain or justify what you’re going through

If you’ve been trying to do this on your own, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask: Do I have enough support — and what would change if I did?

🧡 The AT Parenting Community is open until Thursday. Join us at www.atparentingcommunity.com

What Progress Actually Looks Like for Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 11:00:00 GMT

When you’re raising a child with anxiety or OCD, progress can feel confusing, inconsistent, or even invisible at times. In this episode, we explore how your mindset around progress directly impacts the energy, pressure, and expectations your child feels as they navigate their struggles.

We start by unpacking our relationship with the idea of progress and how common, well-intended beliefs can actually make things harder — like rigid goalposts, unrealistic end goals, artificial timelines, or the belief that anxiety or OCD must be permanently “fixed” to count as success.

Then we shift into a more supportive and sustainable way of viewing progress. One that includes flexible goals, small daily or weekly wins, and an understanding that your child’s mental health journey is fluid, not linear. When we remove external pressure and let go of unrealistic timelines, we create space for real growth, resilience, and trust.

This episode will help you recalibrate how you define progress so you can show up calmer, steadier, and more grounded for your child.

How we show up to our child’s struggles makes a huge impact. Want to learn how to be a steady anchor for your child’s anxiety and OCD?

The Hidden Cost of Parenting Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD from Fear

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 11:00:00 GMT

When your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD, fear can quietly take over your parenting. Fear of making things worse. Fear of missing something. Fear of what the future might hold. In this episode, I explore the hidden cost of parenting from that place.

I talk about how fear often shows up in ways we don’t always recognize, such as agitation, constant anxiety, over-cheerleading, or swinging into punitive responses when we are exhausted and overwhelmed. While these reactions are completely understandable, they can unintentionally undermine trust and keep both parent and child stuck.

I also share how things shifted when I stopped parenting from fear and began meeting my child exactly where they were. That change did not mean doing less. It meant responding differently. By building trust and creating emotional safety, my child was able to feel more empowered and begin taking ownership of their own struggles.

This episode is for parents who are trying their best but feel stuck in survival mode. We talk about how to recognize fear-driven parenting patterns and how moving toward a more anchored approach can change the tone of your relationship and support your child’s growth.

Are You Talking to Your Child or Your Child’s OCD?!

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

One of the hardest parts of raising a child with OCD is figuring out who you’re actually talking to. Is it your child… or is it their OCD pulling you into another loop?

In this episode, we talk about the different ways OCD ropes parents in—whether it’s endless reassurance seeking, constant confessing, permission checking, “just right” demands, or those sneaky checking questions like, “Do I look sick?” or “Is this bad?”

I’ll walk you through how to spot when OCD is taking over the conversation: the circular back-and-forth that goes nowhere, the distress when you don’t answer the “right” way, or the need for more and more clarity tied to their specific OCD themes.

Then we shift into what you can do. We’ll cover how to talk to your child about these patterns ahead of time, how to team up on a plan for responding, and how to use exposures and tools (like reassurance cards) to stop feeding the OCD loop.

And finally, an important reminder: not talking to OCD does not mean ignoring your child. You can still validate, support, connect, and check in, just without fueling compulsions. Pulling yourself out of OCD’s conversations is often one of the first big steps toward real progress.

Building Trust When Your Child Has OCD

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

In this 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. I share simple, practical ways to build (and rebuild) trust — from validating their experience, to going at their pace, to connecting with who they are beyond OCD. Even small shifts can strengthen your relationship and make real progress possible.

Staying Present When Your Child’s OCD Is Loud

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

When your child’s OCD gets loud, it’s so easy to get swept into the panic, the questions, the intensity.

But the calmer and more grounded you stay, the faster they can settle.

In today’s episode I’m breaking down how to stay present when everything in you wants to react — and why this one skill changes the tone of your entire home.

If you want deeper support in staying steady during your child’s anxiety or OCD storms, my new series will walk you through it step-by-step.

When Professionals Get Your Child’s OCD Wrong

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 11:00:00 GMT

What happens when the professionals you trust to help your child’s OCD, actually make things worse?

Too many parents of kids with OCD are told to “reassure them,” “avoid the triggers,” or “help them relax.” Even well-meaning therapists often miss the mark — treating OCD like general anxiety or skipping ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) altogether.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why OCD is so often misunderstood in therapy, how to tell if your child’s therapist truly understands OCD, and the red flags that signal it’s time to look elsewhere. You’ll learn what evidence-based treatment should look like — and how to advocate for the help your child really needs.

Why We Miss New OCD Symptoms in Our Child

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

When OCD symptoms fade, it’s natural to feel relief — maybe even believe it’s finally gone. But sometimes, that relief can make us miss the signs of OCD returning in new and surprising ways.

In this episode, I’ll talk about why parents often overlook new OCD themes and what we can do differently. We’ll explore how tunnel vision, limited communication, and lack of education about OCD’s many disguises can cause us to miss the early signs of a relapse. You’ll learn how to celebrate progress without letting your guard down — shifting from a “cured” mindset to one of ongoing recovery. We’ll also cover how to stay educated, keep open communication with your child, and recognize when new behaviors may actually be OCD in disguise. Because when we know what to look for, we can catch OCD before it takes the wheel again.

Understanding Your Role: What You Can and Can’t Do When Your Child Has OCD

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

As parents, we want to rescue our kids from anxiety and OCD—but the truth is, some things are not within our control. And when we spend our energy trying to fix what isn’t ours to fix, we burn out, lose connection with our child, and unintentionally strengthen OCD. In this episode, I break down the critical difference between what is your role and what isn’t, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start creating meaningful progress for your child.

You’ll Learn What You Can’t Do (No Matter How Hard You Try):

You can’t force your child to stop compulsions that don’t involve you
You can’t create motivation or force insight
You can’t speed up their progress or prevent new OCD themes from emerging
You can’t make them share every intrusive thought

Trying to control these things only leads to power struggles and frustration—for you and your child.

Then We Shift to What You Can Do (and Where True Power Lies):

Educate yourself and recognize new OCD patterns early
Understand co-occurring struggles that impact progress
Identify how you may be unintentionally feeding OCD
Learn how to systematically pull back from accommodations
Set healthy boundaries so OCD doesn’t run your home
Incentivize your child to do the work instead of doing it for them
Determine where your child is in their journey—trust, skills, or treatment—and start there

You do have influence. You do have a role. And when you lean into the things you can control, that’s when your child’s growth begins.

👉 Want hands-on guidance through this process? Join the AT Parenting Community, where I support parents step-by-step in building a therapeutic home environment and empowering their kids to take their life back from OCD. Doors close on Thursday, Nov 20th, 2025.

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Are you trying everything to help your child’s OCD… yet nothing seems to stick?

You’re not alone—and it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 7 most common mistakes parents make when trying to help OCD, and more importantly, what to do instead. These mistakes are incredibly common, even among well-meaning therapists, and understanding them is the first step to real progress.

We’ll talk about:

Why logic and reassurance often make OCD stronger

Why ERP isn’t just “facing fears”
And the role parents must play in their child’s OCD journey

The Do’s and Don’ts of Pulling Back OCD Accommodations

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 11:00:00 GMT

When your child struggles with OCD, it’s natural to want to ease their distress, but those well-meaning “helping” moments can actually feed OCD’s control. In this episode, Natasha breaks down how to pull back accommodations safely and effectively, without creating unnecessary conflict or fear.

You’ll learn:

What OCD accommodations really are and how they sneak into daily routines
Why reducing them helps your child gain long-term confidence
How to involve your child in the process
What to do (and not do) when emotions run high
How to stay consistent and supportive as your child builds resilience

Pulling back OCD accommodations isn’t about being tough — it’s about helping your child take their power back from OCD, one small step at a time.

My Child Can’t Explain Their OCD—Now What?

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 11:00:00 GMT

When your child can’t explain their OCD, it can feel impossible to know how to help. Many kids feel embarrassed, don’t have the words, or experience OCD as a feeling instead of a clear fear. Sometimes the compulsions come first, making it even harder to put into words.

In this episode, I’ll share why kids struggle to explain their OCD and what you can do instead of pushing for answers. You’ll learn how to spot patterns, identify themes, and support your child with both compassion and strategy.

When Reassurance Becomes an OCD Compulsion: How Parents Can Respond Differently

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

When your child is stuck in an endless cycle of reassurance, it can feel impossible to break free. Reassurance may bring temporary relief, but for kids with OCD it actually fuels the disorder and makes things worse in the long run.

In this episode, I talk about how reassurance becomes a compulsion, why it keeps your child trapped in OCD’s cycle, and what you can do differently instead. You’ll learn practical alternatives you can use right away that support your child without feeding OCD.

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 10:00:00 GMT

OCD loves to change costumes. One week it’s germs, the next it’s harm or moral worries—and parents are left wondering, “Are we back at square one?” In this episode I explain why theme changes are common, what’s actually staying the same beneath the surface, and how to respond without chasing content.

You’ll learn:

Why themes change (and why that doesn’t mean regression)
How to spot the OCD cycle across any theme
Practical ways to keep coaching and exposures on track when the fear looks “new”
Language you can use with your child when OCD suddenly pivots

How to Help Young Children with OCD

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:00:00 GMT

OCD can show up much earlier than most people realize — and often in ways parents don’t immediately recognize. For younger kids, compulsions might appear before they can even describe intrusive thoughts. You might see rigidity, controlling behaviors, repetitive actions, or big meltdowns over things that don’t seem to make sense.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how OCD can look in young children and share practical strategies for helping them. From personifying OCD as “Mr. Bossy,” to creating superheroes who fight back, to slowly reducing accommodations and even gamifying the process — I’ll give you tools to make OCD something your child can actually face.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support a younger child with OCD, this episode will give you a roadmap to start.

Also, check out my new children’s picture book to help children with OCD: Chloe and the Bossy Cloud.

Does Your Child Have Contamination OCD: Are You Missing This?

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Contamination OCD can be easy to spot, but often, it runs much deeper than what you are observing.

In this episode, I break down the common mistakes parents make when trying to support a child with contamination OCD, such as:

Assuming it’s always about germs or illness
Focusing only on visible rituals instead of the underlying fear
Overlooking how contamination spreads from “ground zero” to more and more things
Missing the importance of tailoring exposures to the specific fear or feeling

Most importantly, I’ll share how to uncover the true root fear and ground zero behind OCD contamination, and why that shift changes how exposures are designed and carried out.

Moral OCD: Mistakes Parents Often Make (and How to Avoid Them)

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Moral OCD can be tricky for parents to recognize because it often looks like strong values, deep guilt, or honest confessions.

In this episode, I break down the most common pitfalls parents fall into when trying to support their child with Moral OCD like:

Mistaking OCD-driven fears for good morals
Treating compulsive “confessions” as real
Worrying that if you don’t respond, your child will bottle everything up.
Confusion around if it is OCD or your child’s religious or personal beliefs and preferences.

Most importantly, I’ll share practical ways to shift your responses: how to separate OCD from true values, recognize when you’re debating with OCD instead of your child, respond in a consistent way to “confessions,” and support healthy communication without fueling compulsions.

You’ll walk away with concrete strategies to reduce accommodation while still staying connected and compassionate.

From Fixer to Anchor: A Mindset Shift for Parents of Kids with OCD

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:00:00 GMT

When our child is in distress, it’s natural to want to jump in and fix things. But with OCD, that urge to solve, control, or protect can actually get in the way of long-term growth.

In this episode, I talk about one of the most powerful mindset shifts we can make as parents of kids with OCD: moving from “fixer” to “anchor.” You’ll learn how to step out of the cycle of urgency and step into a role that’s calmer, steadier, and more supportive—not just for your child, but for your own well-being too.

We’ll explore:

Why trying to fix OCD backfires
What it really means to be an anchor
How this shift empowers your child’s progress
The internal script that helps you let go: “This is their journey. I’m just the support.”

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or like you’re carrying too much—this episode is for you.

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 10:00:00 GMT

When you’re parenting a child with OCD, burnout can sneak in quietly—and then hit hard. You’re doing all the things: managing compulsions, pulling back OCD accommodations, showing up for exposures, and trying to keep everything afloat. But what happens when your own emotional gas tank is empty?

In this episode, I’m talking about what burnout really looks like in OCD parenting, why it’s so common, and how to start refilling your cup without guilt. Because helping your child shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process.

If you’re ready to shift from barely staying afloat to becoming a steady anchor for your child, don’t miss my free video series: How to Be an Anchor to Your Child with Anxiety or OCD.

Why Kids with OCD Say ‘I Don’t Know’ to Everything—and What You Can Do About It

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Do you ask your child with OCD a question—about their thoughts, feelings, or fears—only to get “I don’t know” in return? It can be frustrating, confusing, and leave you feeling stuck. But for kids with OCD, those three words often carry a lot more meaning than we realize.

In this episode, I’ll unpack why “I don’t know” is such a common response in kids with OCD—and what it’s really communicating. You’ll learn what’s not helpful (even when it’s well-intentioned), and what you can do instead to support your child without feeding OCD’s grip on their thinking.

We’ll talk about:

The real reasons behind constant “I don’t know” responses
Common parent traps that unintentionally make things worse
Practical ways to respond with clarity, patience, and effectiveness
How to use these moments as teaching tools—not power struggles

You don’t need all the answers—but you do need a game plan. Tune in for real support that meets your child where they are.

Simple ways to notice and create space for micro-moments of peace

Child OCD vs Autism: Understanding the Key Differences

Tue, 27 May 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Is it autism or OCD? Sometimes the behaviors can look so similar, it’s hard to tell. In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I break down the key differences between autism and child OCD — and why understanding the distinction is crucial for getting the right support.

You’ll learn:

Why repetitive behaviors show up in both autism and OCD (but for very different reasons)
How motivation, awareness, and sensory issues help differentiate the two
Why misdiagnosis can delay effective treatment
What to do if your child has both autism and OCD

If you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed, you’re not alone — and getting clarity is the first step toward helping your child thrive.

PSP 418: A Game Changer for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 13 May 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode, I’m diving into the three key areas where parents struggle most—and how my AT Parenting Community is designed to fill those gaps.

PSP 417: The Power of Pause: Teaching Kids to Delay OCD Responses (and Why It Works)

Tue, 06 May 2025 10:00:00 GMT

OCD thrives on urgency. The faster your child reacts to an intrusive thought, the more powerful OCD becomes. But what if your child learned to pause—even for a few seconds—before doing an OCD compulsion?

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to introduce the concept of “delay” as a gentle, approachable first step in helping your child take back control. You’ll learn how to teach it, what to expect, and why it works.

PSP 416: Groundbreaking Study on Virtual ERP for Kids with OCD – with Dr. Sara Conley from NOCD

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sara Conley, a licensed clinical psychologist and clinical manager at NOCD, to discuss a groundbreaking new study on virtual Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for children and teens with OCD.

We explore the study’s powerful findings—including a 37.3% median reduction in OCD symptoms in just 13 sessions—and how virtual ERP therapy is changing the landscape of OCD treatment for families.

Dr. Conley shares how NOCD’s model brings accessible, evidence-based therapy directly into families’ homes, and why parent involvement is a key piece of successful treatment.

We also talk about:

What makes virtual ERP different from in-person therapy
How the NOCD app supports families between sessions
The importance of integrating therapy into real life without overwhelming families
How over 90% of American families with commercial health insurance can access NOCD’s treatment
What this study means for the future of OCD treatment and the broader mental health crisis in youth

Whether your child is newly diagnosed or you’re already navigating OCD treatment, this episode offers encouragement, insights, and practical hope.

PSP 415: When OCD Looks Like Oppositional Behavior: Understanding Hidden Compulsions

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT

If your child refuses to shower, melts down over clothing, or avoids homework, you might assume they’re being defiant. But what if it’s actually OCD driving their behavior?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast for Anxiety and OCD, I break down how OCD-driven avoidance and compulsions can look like oppositional behavior—and why this misunderstanding is so common.

You’ll learn:

🟤 How OCD can mimic defiance in kids.

🟤 Key signs that reveal it’s OCD, not oppositional behavior.

🟤 Why traditional discipline backfires with OCD.

🟤 Practical strategies to respond effectively with compassion and boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated or confused by your child’s behavior, this episode will help you recognize the hidden OCD compulsions behind it—so you can support your child with OCD in the right way.

PSP 414: How to Handle OCD Meltdowns Without Making Them Worse

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT

If your child has OCD, you’ve likely witnessed an OCD-driven meltdown—intense distress triggered by an intrusive thought, fear, or the inability to complete a compulsion. These meltdowns can be overwhelming for both you and your child. And while it’s natural to want to soothe their anxiety in the moment, some responses can unintentionally reinforce OCD.

In this AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, we’ll cover:

-What’s happening in your child’s brain during a meltdown

-What not to do (even if it feels helpful)

-Effective strategies to de-escalate the meltdown and support your child’s resilience

-Tips for preventing future meltdowns

PSP 413: When Your Child’s OCD & Anxiety Turn Into School Avoidance

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can abruptly put the brakes on our children’s education.This is one of the most disruptive and concerning aspects of our children’s OCD or anxiety. It is a slippery slope that can gain momentum and get out of control rather quickly.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore how to identify the core fear around school refusal, how to decipher if it is a school issue versus an anxiety or OCD issue, and how to navigate the issue without making school avoidance worse.

PSP 412: Improving Our Child’s Life with OCD with Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT

How do we help our children with OCD have a better quality of life? Our child’s OCD is more than just Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. It is more than just their intrusive thoughts and their compulsions.

How do we help them with self-esteem? The feeling of guilt and shame? The struggles of navigating school and family relationships?

In Dr. Jonathan Abramowitz’s new book, Living Well with OCD, he tackles the bigger question - how can people live a fulfilling life with OCD?

Jonathan Abramowitz is a psychologist with a private practice in North Carolina. He is also the Professor and Associated Chair of Psychology at the University of North Carolina (UNC).

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Dr. Abramowitz to share his insights on how we can help our kids live a fulfilling life, despite OCD.

PSP 411: When Your Child’s OCD Says a Loved One is Contaminated

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 11:00:00 GMT

There is nothing more disruptive and upsetting than OCD latching on to a loved one. Contamination isn’t just about germs - it can be about people, people our kids love. Families get thrown into chaos when OCD decides a parent or sibling is the source of contamination.

Out of all themes, this one has the power to upend the entire family.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how OCD determines family members are contaminated and what parents can do to counteract the destructive impact it has in the home.

PSP 410: Helping Your Child with OCD or Anxiety When They Feel Hopeless

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Struggling with Anxiety and OCD can make kids feel hopeless. Hopelessness can lead to depression and a lack of motivation to work on their issues.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore what causes hopelessness in our kids with OCD and anxiety and what we can do to help them navigate those emotions.

PSP 409: When You See Anxiety or OCD in Others Kids

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 11:00:00 GMT

As you become more educated about anxiety and OCD, you most likely will start seeing it all around you. It can be hard to stomach seeing a child struggling with anxiety or OCD, especially if their parents aren’t aware of what they are truly dealing with.

So what do you do in those situations? I actually get asked that question more often than you might think!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore the delicate balance of seeing anxiety or OCD in a child and how, and if, to educate the parent on what might be going on.

PSP 408: How to Use Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory with Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:00:00 GMT

I quickly fell in love with Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory. It is such a simple, and yet powerful approach to living your life. Throughout the book I thought about how the Let Them Theory could be adapted to parents, and in particular, those of us raising kids with anxiety or OCD.

I started to implement this approach with my kids in a child friendly way. It made a huge impact on how I showed up for their anxiety and OCD struggles. It also helped me let go of what I cannot control.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to implement elements of the Let Them Theory with our kids with anxiety and OCD.

PSP 407: Helping Kids with OCD and Magical Thinking

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 11:00:00 GMT

OCD can convince our kids that they have control over the uncontrollable. That is at the heart of magical thinking OCD compulsions. Magical thinking is when OCD convinces a person that if they do or don’t do something - they can prevent something from happening.

That something could be literally anything related to their theme. They might be preventing themselves from throwing up. They might be saving your life. They might be preventing a health issue. It is different for each person, but the compulsion is the same - do this (or don’t do this) or ELSE.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring how magical thinking shows up in OCD and how you can help your kids overcome it.

PSP 406: How to Handle Tourettic OCD with Dr. John Piacentini

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Not every OCD theme is about a fear, sometimes it is about a feeling. That is the case with Tourettic OCD. Tourettic OCD is not triggered by an intrusive thought, but rather a somatic urge. Compulsions can include sudden, repetitive movements or vocalizations.

It can be tricky to figure out what is a tic and what is tourettic OCD. That is why I invited Dr. John Piacentini to the show. Dr. John Piacentini is a Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the UCLA School of Medicine and Director of the Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program at the UCLA Semel Institute and the UCLA Center for Child Anxiety, Resilience, Education and Support (UCLA CARES)

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast Dr. Piacentini breaks down the difference between Tourette’s, tics and OCD - and helps clarify what Tourettic OCD is and how it is treated.

PSP 405: How to Improve Communication when Dealing with Your Child’s OCD or Anxiety

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Effective communication is one of the most essential aspects of parenting a child with OCD or anxiety. When communication breaks down, our ability to support them directly becomes limited.

The way we communicate, the words we choose, and our ability to read our child’s cues while respecting their pace all play a crucial role in how effective that communication will be.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I’ll explore some important strategies for fostering effective communication and share practical tips to help you overcome any barriers that may be hindering your connection with your child.

PSP 404: How Your Childhood Impacts How You Handle Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 11:00:00 GMT

We don’t just leave our childhood in the past. It comes with us, altering our lens of how we view life. This includes how we view and interact with our child’s anxiety or OCD.

When we learn to identify the “smudges” our childhood is adding to our lens, we are better able to separate out our issues from our child’s issues, becoming more present and intentional in the moment.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I will help you explore the 5 main categories where our childhood impacts how we parent our kids with anxiety or OCD, as well as what to do about it!

PSP 403: Parents at Odds: How Disagreements Impact Progress with Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 11:00:00 GMT

When parents disagree on how to approach their child’s anxiety or OCD, they do more than irritate each other, it impacts their child’s progress with anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I dive into the top 5 topics parents often disagree on when it comes to their child’s OCD or anxiety. We’ll also dive into why these are such common topics for disagreement as well as ways parents can mitigate the impact it has on their child’s anxiety or OCD.

PSP: 402: Knowing When to Step Back: Supporting Your Child with OCD or Anxiety Without Overpushing

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 11:00:00 GMT

Trying to help a child with OCD or anxiety is not an easy task. One reason for that is because we are not steering the ship. This is not our battle. This is not our struggle. Although trust me, I know we have our own struggles on this journey raising a child with OCD or anxiety.

But, we don’t get to override our child’s autonomy to smooth things out. I wish we could.

The single hardest part about raising children with OCD or anxiety is we have to follow their pace. We have to follow their level of engagement. If we overstep, over push or over cheerlead, we risk shutting them down.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to know when to step back and how to support your child while their foot is firmly on the brake.

We all want our kids with anxiety or OCD to believe in themselves. We want them to try hard things. We want them to push through their fears. But we only have so much control on how motivated they are to do those things to help themselves.

We do, however, have control over how we show up to our child’s battle with anxiety or OCD.

When we over accommodate, over enable and cocoon our kids from all discomfort and failure, we rob them of the opportunity to develop resilience.

It is a balancing act and it looks different for each child.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to find the sweet spot of empowering our kids to face their anxiety or OCD, while not pushing them over the edge.

PSP: 400: The Difference Between Reframing Anxiety Thoughts vs OCD Thoughts

Tue, 07 Jan 2025 11:00:57 GMT

How we reframe anxious thoughts vs OCD thoughts are vastly different. Understanding the nuances of how we talk to these two disorders differently is crucial for any parent trying to help their child.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the differences between anxiety and OCD and how we would coach our kids through anxious thoughts versus OCD thoughts.

PSP: 399: Why the Core Fear Matters in Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 11:00:02 GMT

Does it really matter if you understand the core fear related to your child’s anxiety or OCD. The short answer - yes.

Of course we will treat anxiety with anxiety tools regardless of theme or core fear. And we will treat OCD as OCD regardless of theme or core fear. But understanding the core fear in anxiety or OCD is like the difference between using a compass to get where you are going versus a GPS.

Core fears help us identify and pinpoint exactly what fuels all the anxiety and OCD themes; what fuels all the compulsions. What fuels all the discomfort. When we know the core fear we have the upper hand against anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I outline why it is helpful to know the core fear of our child’s anxiety or OCD and what steps to take to discover them!

PSP: 398: Handling Your Child’s Anxiety, OCD and Christmas Break

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 11:00:50 GMT

Just because it is the holiday season doesn’t mean our child’s anxiety and OCD take a break. The holidays can stir up a variety of issues for our kids depending on their particular anxiety and OCD themes.

Down time can cause more anxious or intrusive thoughts. The whirlwind of parties, overstimulation and no routine can make emotions run high. It can be tricky to deal with contamination, restrictive eating, panic attacks and upsetting thoughts around relatives and friends.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring some common struggles kids with anxiety or OCD have over Christmas and winter break and what you can do to reduce these issues.

PSP: 397: Feelings of Failure When Our Child’s Anxiety or OCD Doesn’t Get better

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:00:30 GMT

As parents we can be hard on ourselves. The parenting journey raising kids with anxiety and OCD can come with many ups and downs. Many of us blame ourselves when our child’s anxiety or OCD doesn’t get better.

But the truth is you can do absolutely everything to help your child with anxiety or OCD and they still don’t improve.

We are only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to our child’s anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the narrative that we often tell ourselves that says we are a failure when our kids are struggling.

PSP: 396: A New OCD Tool to Help Kids Practice Their Skills at Home

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 11:00:11 GMT

Often it is hard to get our kids into OCD therapy, and when we do, it can be an uphill battle to get them to practice those skills in between sessions.

That is why I’m so excited to offer another tool to your at-home toolbox!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m sharing with you my latest resource, the OCD Card Deck.

We’ll explore how you can use this card deck at home and how it can sharpen your child’s self-esteem, motivation and ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) skills!

PSP: 395: How to Improve Sibling Relationships Despite Anxiety & OCD With Dr. Corinna Tucker

Tue, 03 Dec 2024 11:00:28 GMT

We all want our kids to have strong sibling relationships, but often anxiety and OCD can get in the way. Siblings might feel targeted by the child with anxiety or OCD. They might be on the receiving end of aggression or they might just feel sidelined by how much attention their sibling requires.

Just like with anxiety and OCD, we have our role to play when it comes to facilitating strong sibling bonds. Learning what our role and what it isn’t, is so important!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talked to Corinna Jenkins Tucker, PhD, CFLE. She is the Director of the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative (SAARA) at the Crimes against Children Research Center and Professor Emerita, Human Development and Family Studies, at the University of New Hampshire.

Her primary research interests include sibling relationships, parenting, and mental health. She has a particular interest in sibling aggression and abuse experiences across the lifespan. Dr. Tucker has conducted research and published extensively on sibling relationships for over 25 years.

PSP: 394: Can You Find Happiness While Your Child is Struggling with Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 11:00:36 GMT

Are you able to experience happiness while your child is struggling with anxiety or OCD? Do you feel guilty or tell yourself stories about your ability to be “happy” while your child is suffering?

Many of us tell ourselves things like, “we can’t be happy if our child is struggling with anxiety or OCD.” But is that actually true? And more importantly, is that belief even helpful?

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the idea of happiness, especially when the ones we care about the most are struggling.

PSP: 393: Helping Autistic Kids Who have OCD with Jan Stewart

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 11:00:35 GMT

It can be hard enough to help a child with OCD, but what if they are autistic as well? It can be confusing to figure out where autistic traits end and OCD compulsions begin. It can also be a struggle to navigate two worlds that don’t always intersect.

That is why I was thrilled to invite Jan Stewart to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. Jan is a highly regarded mental health and neurodiversity advocate and mom to two, now grown children with multiple diagnoses.

She is the author of Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I sat down with Jan to discuss how parents can decipher autistic traits from OCD compulsions, how ERP is adapted for autistic children and how to take care of ourselves and our other relationships while trying to stay afloat.

PSP: 392: What Stories are You Telling Yourself About Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 11:00:31 GMT

We may not have full control over our child’s recovery around anxiety or OCD, but we can control how we show up to their struggles. This can be tricky when our mind is bogged down with what-if scenarios.

That is why it is so important to pay attention to the narratives we are spinning around our child’s anxiety or OCD and tap into what emotions are showing up for us, as we show up for them.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the stories that so many of us raising kids with anxiety or OCD tell ourselves, and how to develop a daily practice to reframe the narrative.

PSP: 391: What to Do When Your Child Won’t Get Needed Mental Health Treatment with Alec Pollard

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:00:25 GMT

The number one struggle I hear from parents is, “My child won’t accept help for their anxiety or OCD.” What are we supposed to do when anxiety or OCD has hijacked the house and everyone who inhabits it?

Dr. Alec Pollard has dedicated his career and research to this very question. He is the co-developer of the Family Well-Being Approach (FWBA) and is the founding director of the Center for OCD & Anxiety-Related Disorders at Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute, and professor emeritus of family and community medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

He also happens to be one of my favorite researchers, as he has a down-to-earth way about explaining and helping families in need. He’s also quite funny.

In Dr. Pollard’s new book, When a Loved One Won’t Seek Mental Health Treatment, he offers family members a roadmap on how to get their life back while promoting their loved one’s recovery.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I had the joy of sitting down with Dr. Pollard and exploring some of the key points in his approach outlined in his book. I know every parent will get some important takeaways from our discussion!

PSP: 390: Helping Kids Who Give Up Easily

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 11:00:20 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can take a TON of resilience. So when we have kids who generally give up easily, this can impact how they handle their mental health struggles. Some kids have this go get’em attitude and get up every time they are knocked down, while other kids give up before they even begin. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast we’ll discuss why some kids give up so easily and what concrete things we can do to help them shift this behavior.

PSP 389: Reducing Isolation in Kids Who are Doing Homeschool or Online Schooling

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 10:00:21 GMT

Many of our kids thrive in non-traditional learning environments. And some of our kids are not able to go to an in-person school due to the acuity of their anxiety or OCD.

One of the cons of at-home learning is the isolation it can bring. Isolation can increase anxiety and OCD and make our kids feel disconnected. It is helpful to have a proactive plan on how to connect our kids with others so we reduce the impact of isolation.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss the risk of isolation with our children who are homeschooling or doing online learning and what concrete steps we can take to minimize disconnection.

PSP 387: How to Address Picking and Pulling Behaviors with Aneela Idnani

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 10:00:11 GMT

It is not uncommon for kids with anxiety or OCD to also have issues with picking their skin or pulling their hair. These behaviors are classified as BFRBs, body-focused, repetitive behaviors. Although BFRBs are a common comorbid condition to anxiety and OCD, it is a separate disorder with its own set of therapy approaches. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, we celebrate BFRB week by having one of my favorite people on, Aneela Idnani from Habitaware. Aneela has struggled with trichotillomania her whole life. She took her pain and turned it into purpose; helping other people with BFRBs. She created a bracelet that helps people with BFRBs become more aware of when they are doing those behaviors. She also built a beautiful community filled with free support groups for kids and teens as well as services to support parents.

PSP 386: The Difference Between PDA Accommodations and OCD Accommodations

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 10:00:38 GMT

Often parents who are raising kids with both PDA and OCD get conflicting advice. This can push a parent who is already stressed, over the edge. Are accommodations good or are they bad?

One set of advice talks about leaning into accommodations, while the other set says accommodations are something to eventually stop. The reality is PDA accommodations and OCD accommodations aren’t the same.

OCD accommodations are specifically talking about participating in a child’s OCD compulsions. Those are called accommodations. When we participate in our child’s OCD compulsions we are inadvertently growing their OCD and the OCD behavior will worsen. That is different from the PDA accommodations needed to give them a sense of autonomy while fostering a low-demand environment. That doesn’t mean PDA doesn’t bring another layer of struggle when it comes to addressing OCD symptoms - it does! But the use of the word accommodations have different meanings.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the world of PDA and OCD and try to dispel any misunderstandings that exist when straddling both worlds.

PSP 384: Why Family Involvement is Key to OCD Treatment in Kids

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 10:00:03 GMT

OCD doesn’t live in a bubble; it lives in our home. It lives in our families. It is not an isolated disorder. It involves the whole family system.

That is why family involvement is key to a child’s OCD long term success. Often this is the missing component, even when a child is being treated for OCD.

PSP 383: The Power of Celebrating Small Wins with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 10:00:27 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can create hopelessness. It can feel like such an overwhelming task to overcome these struggles. Often we focus on the end goal.

Get them to school. Get them to eat. Get them to be fully functioning.

But there are a million smaller goals that get them to that bigger goal. It is easy to focus on the big picture instead of looking at the minute day-to-day goals. But it is in those small steps that progress is really made.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how crucial it is to celebrate the small wins our kids make on their journey to crush anxiety and OCD.

PSP 382: A Helpful Tool for OCD Reassurance Seeking

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 10:00:00 GMT

OCD doesn’t just involve our kids, it involves us. OCD reassurance seeking is a sneaky compulsion. It gets us to do OCD’s dirty work. We often don’t even know we are talking to OCD.

It can feel bad to pull back our reassurance, even if we know it is OCD. It can also be tough on our kids. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about a tool I created to help kids reduce their OCD reassurance seeking.

PSP 381: Letting Our Kids Fail So They Can Succeed

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 10:00:43 GMT

It can be so hard to see our kids tumble and fall. No one wants to see their kids fail. But we rob our kids the ability to learn when we protect them from failure.

This can impact how we show up for their anxiety or OCD. It can impact how much freedom we give them. It can also decipher how much we micromanage what they eat, how much they sleep and how long they are on electronics.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the idea that we have to let our kids fail in order to succeed. We also discuss how we have to give our kids some level of freedom in order to teach them to regulate themselves.

PSP 380: I Did Something Scary and You are About to Read About It

Tue, 20 Aug 2024 10:00:49 GMT

Sometimes we have to do something really scary in order to be our true selves. I started working on a memoir about social anxiety about five years ago. I finally finished the memoir but then six days later my husband passed away.

The memoir collected dust as I tried to piece myself and my family back together. A year and a half after he passed, I revisited the project. I wrote an epilogue detailing my grief journey and how it got even more complicated by my fear of being alone.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why I wrote my social anxiety memoir and reveal some of my biggest fears about it being released.

PSP 379: Are you Missing Some of Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD Struggles?

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 10:00:22 GMT

If we are openly discussing our child’s anxiety or OCD with them, we might assume that we aren’t missing anything. But it is important to note that just because we see the tip of the iceberg, doesn’t mean we see everything.

I am constantly missing, and then discovering, yet another thing that is actually my child’s anxiety or OCD in disguise.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore why kids will continue to hide anxiety and OCD struggles and some concrete tips on how to address this.

PSP 377: How ADHD Complicates Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 10:00:56 GMT

Anxiety and OCD are hard enough to deal with, but when you sprinkle ADHD into the mix everything can be magnified. As parents raising kids with comorbid conditions, this adds another layer of struggle. You might find things that work for other kids with anxiety or OCD doesn’t work as easily for your child. It can require a different way to approach anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore five areas where ADHD complicates anxiety and OCD progress. I’ll break down ways you can tweak your approaches to address the extra layer of ADHD.

🆘 Raising kids with comorbid conditions can be exhausting and requires us as parents to do our own internal work. I’ll walk you through ways to help address your mindset, physical health and quality of support in my FREE series Self Care for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD.

PSP 376: How to Respond to Unhelpful Comments About Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 23 Jul 2024 10:00:39 GMT

It is already tough trying to help our kids with anxiety or OCD, but it is even harder stomaching unhelpful comments and advice.

Sometimes people are trying to be helpful and don’t mean to be upsetting. Some people are uneducated. And some people are judgemental and critical.

Some people deserve education. Some people deserve boundaries. And some people should just be ignored.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the different reasons why people give us unhelpful comments and advice and I break down my 4 different response types.

PSP 375: Can the Movie Inside Out 2 Help Your Child’s Anxiety (or Even OCD?)

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 10:00:00 GMT

It has been so nice to see all these films addressing our children’s mental health issues. The more these struggles can be normalized, the less stigma they’ll be for our kids!

A couple of week’s ago I discussed whether you should show your child with OCD the film Turtles All the Way Down. If you missed that one, you can check it out here.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how parents can use the movie Inside Out 2 to discuss and motivate their kids to work on anxiety and even OCD.

PSP 374: Loving the Child You Have vs The Child You Wanted

Tue, 09 Jul 2024 10:00:20 GMT

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD can bring with it so many struggles, including our own grief and overwhelm. It is easy, and tempting, to bury our own raw emotions around our child’s anxiety or OCD struggles. But honoring and processing our feelings is equally important.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I have an honest conversation about the thoughts many of us struggle with but hate to admit. I talk about having compassion for your own journey while developing insight into what lens you are seeing your child through.

PSP 371: Boosting Self-Esteem During Anxiety and OCD Struggles

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 10:00:00 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can rob our kids of so many things, including their self-esteem and self-worth. It is easy for them to feel hard on themselves when their anxiety or OCD is knocking them down. Often kids are extra hard on themselves during these times.

As parents we are intensely focused on helping our kids navigate anxiety or OCD, but there are some things we can do to boost their self-esteem as well.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore some simple ways you can help your child’s self-esteem and self-worth, while supporting them around anxiety or OCD.

PSP 369: Incorrect Assumptions About ERP and OCD Exposure Work

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 10:00:35 GMT

PSP 368: Why OCD Can Get Worse with the Wrong Therapist

Tue, 28 May 2024 10:00:37 GMT

When you bring your child to a cardiologist, you expect they know all the evidence based treatment interventions to help your child. When you bring them to an endocrinologist you assume they are an expert in all things endocrinology.

But sadly you cannot assume the same when seeing a mental health therapist. The truth is not all therapists are properly trained and informed on how to assess, diagnose and treat OCD.

That means we, as parents, have to have enough knowledge to spot a helpful versus a harmful therapist. We have to know what evidenced based approaches work and why. We have to ask the right questions to know that we are in the right place.

Tue, 21 May 2024 10:00:19 GMT

There is nothing worse than seeing the first signs of anxiety or OCD return. It is a stomach dropping kind of feeling. It can bring all those old emotions flooding to the surface.

But the good news is the return of anxiety or OCD doesn’t mean your child is starting from scratch.

All those past skills are still there under the surface.

One of the biggest questions I get from parents is, “Why does my child’s anxiety or OCD show up more for me?” It can be a source of contention when one parent sees all the struggles and the other parent sees nothing.

It can cause people to finger point and waste unnecessary energy playing the blame game.

The truth is…that is the norm.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore why kids tend to show their anxiety or OCD more to one parent than to anyone else and what we can do about it.

PSP 364: How Our Parenting Styles Impact the Anxiety & OCD Journey

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 10:00:28 GMT

Our parenting style directly impacts how we approach our child’s anxiety or OCD. How do you feel about setting boundaries? What emotions do you feel when your child is in distress? How do you feel when you pull back your accommodations around anxiety or OCD?

Our parenting style plays a role in these questions.

Your parenting style wasn’t developed out of thin air. We are a mix of our childhood experiences, our feelings around how we were parented and our hopes for our own kids.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I help you take a deeper dive into your parenting style, where it came from and how it plays a role in your child’s anxiety or OCD journey.

PSP 363: The Importance of Finding the Right Therapy for OCD | One Family’s Journey

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 10:00:10 GMT

The wrong therapist can wreak havoc on a children’s OCD. That is why it is so important for parents to understand what are evidenced-based approaches specifically for OCD. It is also key to have the skills to decipher a qualified therapist from a non-qualified therapist.

When Eve started having intrusive thoughts, she privately went to google to figure out what was going on. Fortunately for Eve she stumbled upon the right sites that helped her understand her thoughts were OCD. Many families aren’t so lucky, especially when it involves OCD themes like sexual orientation or harm to self or others.

Even though Eve properly identified her struggles as OCD, it still took several therapists to find a qualified one that would help her make progress. Her father wasn’t so lucky. He had the same OCD themes in college and had little success from a general therapist, never knowing it was OCD until his daughter had the same theme.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Eve and her father Jon, as they share their struggles, their journey to find the right therapist and their bond through it all.

PSP 362: The Use of Storytelling in Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 10:00:19 GMT

It can be hard to help kids navigate anxiety and OCD. Sometimes adding some creative ways to help validate, normalize and build skills to handle anxiety or OCD can be gold! One of my favorite ways to do that is through storytelling.

Storytelling is a powerful tool. It can help kids understand how anxiety and OCD work. It can help talk about anxiety or OCD without discussing it directly. It can be a creative outlet to process emotions around anxiety and OCD. It can even be used to problem solve and teach tools on how to crush anxiety and OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll discuss the many helpful uses to add the creative approach of storytelling to help kids with anxiety or OCD.

PSP 361: A Parenting Journey Raising a Child with Emetophobia

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 10:00:32 GMT

Raising a child with Emetophobia, the fear of throw up, can be an isolating experience. It brings with it all sorts of fears. What if they can’t overcome their struggles? What if they can’t go to school? What if they stop eating entirely?

It is important that parents don’t feel alone on this journey. That is why I was so thrilled when Lauren, a parent in my AT Parenting Community, reached out and asked to be on my podcast. She was so excited about seeing her daughter’s progress that she wanted to share her story with others.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I sat down with Lauren as we both discussed our experiences as moms to kids with Emetophobia. We explore what worked, what didn’t and how we try to manage our own anxiety around it all.

PSP 360: Managing Our Anxiety When Our Child is Panicking

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 10:00:17 GMT

Your child is paralyzed with fear. They are nauseous. They are faint. They are immobilized. It is hard to watch as a parent. For many of us it can trigger our own panicky response.

When our kids are spiraling out of control it can be so easy for us to spiral with them. It often takes a concerted effort to remain calm and be the anchor our child so desperately needs.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore some techniques to reduce your own anxiety while your child is panicking.

PSP 359: Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Children | Dr. Tamar Black

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has been a helpful therapy modality for many people with anxiety and OCD. Often parents wonder how this therapy can be adapted to help children.

I invited Dr. Tamar Black to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to explain what Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is and how it can help our kids with anxiety and OCD.

PSP 358: Psychologist Lori Long Talks About Life with Social Anxiety

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 11:00:20 GMT

One of the hardest parts about social anxiety is the feeling you are the only one with these struggles. It actually feeds into the disorder quite well. It is a story that many of us with social anxiety tell ourselves.

No one struggles like you do.

No one thinks the way you do.

No one would understand.

When I had Lori and her colleagues, Katie and Mallory, from The Childhood Collective on my podcast, I was surprised when Lori said she had social anxiety. I wanted to hear more and asked her if she’d be willing to come on the show to discuss it. Luckily she agreed!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I sat down with Lori to hear about her social anxiety struggles, how it impacted her career and how treatment turned everything around.

If you want to learn more about social anxiety follow me on Instagram @socialanxietyreality.

To tap into the work of Lori, Katie and Mallory go to The Childhood Collective.

PSP 357: How to Boost Your Child’s Self-Esteem with Jesse LeBeau

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 11:00:34 GMT

Self-esteem and self-confidence can play a big role in our child’s journey with anxiety and OCD. When our anxious kids struggle they can feel overwhelmed with emotions of shame and isolation. They might beat themselves up for being different or for having difficulties.

Self-esteem can also play an integral role in how our kids approach anxiety or OCD. Do they have an I can’t attitude or do they feel confident that they can use skills to overcome anxiety and OCD?

Self-esteem work is always a crucial supplement to anxiety and OCD treatment. That is why I invited Jesse LeBeau, one of today’s most highly sought-after youth motivational speakers, to join us on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. In this episode we’ll explore what tools we can offer our kids to help boost self-esteem and confidence.

PSP 356: Are You a Punching Bag for Your Child’s Anxiety and OCD Overwhelm?

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 11:00:09 GMT

As parents we are often in the line of fire when it comes to our child’s overwhelm. When dealing with anxiety or OCD we can feel like we are our child’s punching bag. The truth is, physiologically our kids are often looking for a push-pull conversation. It is easier to see you as enemy #1 rather than facing anxiety and OCD head on.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to “put the rope down” and remove yourself from this push-pull pattern.

PSP 355: Handling Parenting Moments When You Lose it!

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 11:00:49 GMT

We all lose it at one time or another. Parents are human. You are human. We inevitably will lose our cool and say or do things that we regret. But those parenting moments hold untapped clues to what is overwhelming us. Those moments hold wisdom, if we are able to move past the shame to see the insight underneath.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast we’ll explore how to handle those moments and what they might be revealing if we look deep.

PSP 354: A New Way to Help Your Child with OCD at Home

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 11:00:11 GMT

As parents we are often desperate to provide our children with tools to help their OCD. We might scour the internet trying to find an OCD specialist; not an easy feat. Or if we are lucky enough to have found an OCD specialist, we might want to know what we can do at home to fill in the gaps.

I often get asked, what does that look like? How can I help my child build their OCD skills at home to make sure we are getting ahead of this beast?

When kids learn and practice new skills on a daily basis they are more likely to have long-term success. But how do you do that?

That is why I poured all my clinical knowledge I’ve gained from being an OCD child therapist for over two decades into an easily accessible OCD workbook kids can do at home.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I give you a sneak peak into all the skills I will teach your child and how you can use this workbook to propel your child’s long-term success crushing OCD.

My new book, Crushing OCD Workbook for Kids will be released tomorrow, Feb 21, 2024.

PSP 353: Social Anxiety and Bullying

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 11:00:55 GMT

There is a strong relationship between social anxiety and bullying. Research has shown that a clinically significant amount of people with social anxiety have experienced bullying. Often children have a genetic predisposition to anxiety, but environmental stressors, like bullying, blossom that genetic seed.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the relationship between social anxiety and bullying, how it impacts our kids and what we can do about it.

PSP 352: Helping Kids Who are Worried About Growing Up

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 11:00:32 GMT

It is common for some kids to worry about growing up. There are many unknowns that can feel overwhelming. But for some kids this fear is all consuming. For these kids their worries about growing up turn into a daily effort to prevent the inevitable from happening.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the many anxiety and OCD themes that center around the fear of growing up. I’ll also talk about concrete ways to help kids overcome these struggles.

PSP 351: How to Help Anxious Kids through Stories and Books

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 11:00:59 GMT

There are many creative ways to help anxious kids. One way is through storytelling. Children can immerse themselves into stories and learn along the way. Stories can help normalize the experience of having anxiety and develop problem-solving skills in a more non-directive way.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Dr. Amy Neeren about how to use storytelling with anxious kids and about her chapter book series, Nellie in Knots.

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 11:00:05 GMT

It can feel like there is nothing you can do if your child refuses to work on anxiety or OCD. But in reality, that is far from true. We are one piece of the puzzle when it comes to our child’s anxiety or OCD, but it is still an important piece.

PSP 349: Do you Feel Isolated Trying to Help Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:00:00 GMT

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD can be a very lonely experience. It can make us feel removed from our friends and family. It can even put a wedge between partners. The more isolated you feel on this journey, the harder it is to help your child. Why? Because your level of support is directly tied to your child’s long term progress.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast we talk about the struggles of feeling alone and isolated and some actionable steps to get that additional support.

PSP 348: Does Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD Trigger Your Childhood Wounds?

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 11:00:46 GMT

Dealing with our child’s anxiety or OCD is taxing enough, but sometimes there is another layer of stress. Often our child’s struggles can trigger something deep within us. A childhood wound, a flashback, a remnant of something that has remained dormant within us.

When these old wounds are triggered we might have an exaggerated response to our child’s struggles or behaviors. Our past and present might get blurred and anger or fear can bubble up to the surface.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how to spot our childhood wounds and how to separate our past from our present.

PSP 347: Do You and Your Partner Fight Over Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 02 Jan 2024 11:00:31 GMT

Raising a child with Anxiety and OCD is hard enough, but when you and your partner are not on the same page, it can be even harder.

It is common for one partner in the relationship to view their child’s anxiety or OCD differently. Couples can argue over a ton of things including how to handle their child’s struggles and if and when they should get professional help.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore these common struggles and talk about concrete ways to bridge the gap so you are more of a united front.

PSP 346: Losing Yourself While Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 11:00:37 GMT

It is easy to lose yourself while trying to parent a child with anxiety or OCD. In fact, it can be hard not to. We might have ongoing thoughts about how to help our child. We might be consumed with worry about our child’s future.

We might have dropped activities, friends and hobbies we once found joy in. Our relationships might have taken a permanent backseat. Our health and mental well being might have fallen completely off our to-do list.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore some common ways that you might have lost yourself and how to find your way back.

PSP 345: Balancing Act of Pulling Back Anxiety & OCD Accommodations

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 11:00:25 GMT

When our child has anxiety or OCD, we are often providing some accommodations that inadvertently grow the problem. As we learn about anxiety and OCD, we also learn about the importance of pulling back those accommodations. This is not a black and white process. It takes time, it takes judgment and it takes discernment in the moment.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about accommodations, how they grow anxiety and OCD and how to systematically pull back accommodations over time, while having discernment for what your child can handle.

PSP 344: The Relationship Between Misophonia, Misokinesia, and OCD

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:00:27 GMT

OCD loves to hang out with other issues. There are many comorbid conditions that go with OCD. Misophonia and Misokinesia are two of them.

Does your child feel rage over certain sounds, including mouth and nose sounds? Does your child get overwhelmed by certain motions, like a foot tapping or knee bouncing?

Those are common struggles people with Misophonia and Misokinesia experience.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the interconnected relationship between Misophonia, Misokinesia and OCD.

PSP 343: Are We Making Our Child’s Social Anxiety Worse?

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 11:00:09 GMT

Inadvertently many of us make our child’s social anxiety worse. It can seem, on the surface, that social anxiety is an obvious issue with an obvious solution. But social anxiety is much more complicated than most people think.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I outline common mistakes we make that unintentionally make our child or teen’s social anxiety worse. I’ll also outline positive approaches and steps to take to empower your child and reduce their social anxiety.

PSP 342: A Sisters Journey Through OCD to a Life of Purpose

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 11:00:02 GMT

Emily and Lindsay both struggled with OCD as kids. Even though they were sisters, OCD showed up in very different ways for each of them.

It wasn’t until Emily was in college that she realized that her anxiety was really OCD in disguise. Lindsay was able to support her sister and get her connected to the help she needed.

When the sisters found themselves back at home during COVID, a desire to help themselves quickly turned into an idea to help others as well. Emily wanted something to anchor herself. She wanted a bracelet to remind her of the skills she was using in therapy.

With the idea that others would want this too, the sisters launched a company called Presently, offering jewelry with a deeper message.

Check out their store, Presently.

PSP 341: Helping Kids with Disgust OCD themes

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 11:00:32 GMT

There are a few OCD themes that can look very different than the rest. Just right OCD and Disgust OCD themes are two of them.

Parents and therapists might struggle to find the “core fear” around these themes. That is because disgust and just right themes have to do with a fear of overwhelm around a feeling.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how disgust OCD themes can show up and some alternative views being shared about how to treat disgust OCD differently than other themes.

PSP 340: The Balance Between Rescuing and Empowering Our Kids

Tue, 14 Nov 2023 11:00:56 GMT

Most of us want to raise healthy, resilient, empowered adults, but how do we get there? Our kids don’t magically turn independent and empowered once they pass the threshold of adulthood.

The magic is in finding the sweet spot between rescuing and empowering our kids on a daily basis. Even if we hit that sweet spot half the time, we’ll be building those skills to help our kids feel empowered.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the continuum of rescuing to tough love parenting. I discuss how to move from doing it for our kids, to coaching, to sitting on the sidelines cheerleading.

PSP 339: Understanding the Relationship of PANDAS/PANS and OCD

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 11:00:49 GMT

No one knows for certain what causes OCD. We know what areas of the brain are implicated in OCD, but the rest seems up for discussion. We need more research to understand this disorder.

Some kids have OCD symptoms due to an umbrella of issues under PANDAS/PANS. Research is showing that inflammation in the brain can impact mental health and cause neuropsychiatric symptoms, including OCD. Many kids have autoimmune issues, infections such as strep or have had environmental exposure to things like mold or Lyme that can cause an inflammatory response.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Jessica Gavin, a PANDAS/PANS advocate and mom to three kids with PANDAS/PANS, to explore the world of PANDAS/PANS with me.

PSP 337: Ben Ellis’ Journey with OCD

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 10:00:51 GMT

Ben was always an anxious child, but behind that anxiety lurked something else. It took a stay in a treatment center for eating disorders and eight therapists to finally get the help he truly needed, with the diagnosis he actually had - OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, Ben walks us through his journey with OCD, from his inability to share his intrusive thoughts, to his unrelenting search to find an effective therapist trained in OCD.

Ben is determined to be a part of the effort to remove the stigma attached to OCD, especially for men who all too often do not find help and strength complimentary words.

PSP 336: Teaching Kids with Anxiety or OCD to Advocate for Themselves

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 10:00:19 GMT

It is important for all kids to learn how to advocate for themselves. It is an especially important skill for kids with anxiety or OCD. Many of us feel like we have to go to bat for our kids with anxiety and OCD over and over again. But often we forget the important aspect of pulling back over time to teach our kids how to advocate for themselves.

Self-advocacy builds self-esteem and empowerment. It helps kids learn that they have a voice. We can teach our kids to advocate for themselves in simple steps.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the ingredients to self-advocacy and how to build those skills one step at a time.

PSP 335: Creating Natural Exposures to Crush Anxiety and OCD

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 10:00:26 GMT

Ultimately we want our kids to live a life where they walk towards their anxiety or OCD fears and discomfort. The more they build those anxiety and OCD skills, the more resilient they will become.

Natural exposures can help on two fronts. If your child is not ready to commit to formal ERP (Exposure Response Prevention), the main approach in OCD treatment, doing natural exposures can be a great first step.

Second, we want our kids to develop an organic, authentic way of dealing with anxiety or OCD. When they learn how to create natural exposures when faced with triggers, they learn how to live their life while keeping anxiety or OCD at bay.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how natural exposures can help and how to get them started.

PSP 334: How to Help Our Kids with Anticipatory Anxiety

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 10:00:07 GMT

Sometimes the anticipation of doing something can create even more anxiety than the event itself. Many of our anxious kids have anticipatory anxiety. Anticipatory anxiety can immobilize our kids and create a tsunami of anxious feelings.

Unfortunately anticipatory anxiety can grow anxiety to such a height that it becomes insurmountable when the day finally arrives.

So how can we take the wind out of anticipatory anxiety’s sails? It is key to learn how to catch those spirals before our kids spin out of control.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss how anticipatory anxiety can show up as well as approaches you can use to reduce its impact on your child’s mental health.

PSP 333: Should You Tell the School About Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 10:00:47 GMT

Parents often ask me if they should tell the school about their child’s anxiety or OCD. The answer isn’t a simple yes or no. There are things to consider. Like does their anxiety or OCD impact their academic performance or ability to function at school? Is there a chance that they will be mislabeled or misunderstood due to their anxiety or OCD?

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the areas to consider when weighing the pros and cons of telling the school about your child’s anxiety or OCD.

Special Episode: Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD and Sensory Processing Issues

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 11:20:34 GMT

Anxiety and OCD don’t live in a bubble. Often kids with anxiety and OCD have sensory processing issues as well. It can help to understand what is sensory, what is anxiety, what is OCD and what is a little bit of all three!

I always like to bring in experts to educate us about things that are out of my wheelhouse. That is why I have partnered with my friend and colleague, Alisha Grogan, from Your Kids Table. Alisha is an OT and an expert in all things sensory!

In my latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I sit down with Alisha to discuss how sensory issues can show up in our kids and what we as parents can do to help them.

Alisha has graciously gifted my audience $50 off her program Rise with Sensory. This is an on-demand video course that will give you all the skills you need to help your child with sensory issues directly.

PSP 329: What to Do When Your Child with OCD or Anxiety Won’t Discuss it

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 10:00:55 GMT

Often parents give up before they even start because their child with OCD or anxiety refuses to talk. It is easy to think there is nothing you can do if you can’t get your child to discuss their anxiety or OCD.

But there is always a place to start, always.

Kids refuse to talk about anxiety or OCD for various issues. Here are some common ones:

-They have a hard time expressing their emotions in general

-They are embarrassed about having anxiety or OCD

-They think you’ll force them to work on their issues

-They don’t fully trust you or your reactions

-They don’t want to burden you or increase your anxiety

-They are worried about what you’ll think

-They have a stereotypical view of these issues which causes shame

So where to start? The first step is to figure out why the shutdown is occurring. Does your child struggle communicating with you in general? Do they have a hard time expressing difficult situations? Or is this specific to just anxiety or OCD struggles?

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast we discuss reasons why kids refuse to talk about anxiety or OCD and what to do to help them move forward.

PSP 328: Dealing with School Refusal with Dayna Abraham

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 10:00:21 GMT

School refusal can be one of the hardest aspects of anxiety or OCD. It can impact so many areas including your child’s education and your employment. With everyone so stressed, it can be hard to respond in an intentional, effective way.

That is why I brought Dayna Abraham, author of the new book, Calm the Chaos, onto the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. She has a talent for breaking things down into simple steps.

PSP 327: Reducing Inflammation to Improve Mental Health

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 10:00:01 GMT

We are hearing more and more about how inflammation is implicated in many mental health issues including anxiety and OCD. But what does that mean? Are there ways we can see if our child is struggling with inflammation? Are there things we can change in their diet or lifestyle that will reduce inflammation?

I don’t know those answers, but I do know someone who does!

That is why I invited Dr. Ann Kulze, a renowned physician and founder of the Healthy Living School to come and talk to us.

Dr. Ann has been featured on the Dr. Oz show, Oprah and Friends Radio, Time, and WebMD sharing her expertise in this area.

🌸 To get 30% off Dr. Ann’s course, How to Eat to Reduce Inflammation, click here.

Note from the show:

On the podcast Dr. Ann recommended testing “hsCRP” and “Sed rate”. However, she’s unsure if they have standards for doing the hsCRP in kids and imagines pediatricians would likely say they don’t run hsCRP. Sed rates are not super sensitive but can give some indication of inflammation. A sed rate will only be positive in context of higher levels of inflammation as occurs in context of healing or self-defense.

PSP 326: OCD and Eating Disorders

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 10:00:12 GMT

OCD and Eating Disorders are often comorbid conditions, but beyond that, OCD can cause disordered eating. Many OCD issues including Emetophobia, Moral OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Orthorexia, PANDAS/PANS and ARFID can impact our kids ability to eat.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the various OCD issues that can overlap Eating Disorders and some that can be incorrectly diagnosed and treated as only an Eating Disorder.

PSP 325: OCD Recovery and Maintenance with Shaun Flores

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 10:00:50 GMT

Shaun Flores was only a couple of years into his own struggle with OCD when he became an OCD advocate. He quickly became a stronger messenger of hope through his OCD awareness work.

Recently I had Shaun back on the AT Parenting Survival podcast to discuss how his OCD recovery is going, what he does to maintain progress and how the perception of recovery can be part of a bigger issue.

As Shaun discussed his recovery it became apparent how OCD decimated his financial stability, derailed his career path and left him in debt. Despite those issues, Shaun continued to be a shining light for others.

I have created a Go Fund Me account to show Shaun how much the OCD community appreciates him and all the work he has done. The funds will help Shaun find that stable grounding, cover expenses related to his upcoming knee surgery and help him claw out of the financial hole OCD put him in.

🌸 Any amount will show Shaun he is valued. You can donate here.

PSP 324: How to Help Kids with Anxiety or OCD Transition to College

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 10:00:01 GMT

Going to college can bring a mix of emotions. Many kids feel excitement and some trepidation. But kids with anxiety or OCD can be overwhelmed with the transition. They can worry about being far from home, being independent or maintaining their mental health.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how we can help our kids prepare for the transition to college in order to set them up for success.

PSP 323: Raising a Child With Chronic Health Issues and Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 10:00:18 GMT

It can be difficult having a child with both chronic health issues and anxiety or OCD. Often there is a symbiotic relationship between them. Anxiety and OCD can hijack health issues and make them worse. Stress and worry make health issues worse. It is a vicious cycle that some kids struggle to break.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to help a child with both chronic health issues and anxiety or OCD.

PSP 322: Finding Happiness During Difficult Times

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 10:00:35 GMT

When we are raising kids with anxiety or OCD it can take a toll on our own level of happiness. We can be consumed with fear, overwhelm and the what-ifs of tomorrow.

But our child’s journey with anxiety or OCD is a marathon not a sprint. If we live in crisis mode all of the time we rob ourselves and our family of the joy life can bring.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to find moments of happiness even during difficult times with your child’s anxiety or OCD (or any difficult time for that matter).

psp: 321: How to Create Effective Social Anxiety Exposures

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 10:00:46 GMT

Social anxiety shows up differently for each person. Social anxiety is about the fear of rejection, criticism or embarrassment, but it goes much deeper than that. The core fear can be different for each person. I am raising three kids with social anxiety and have social anxiety myself. However, our core fears are all different.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore the many faces of social anxiety and how to craft effective social anxiety exposures based on those fears.

PSP 320: Are You Defining Success Around Anxiety or OCD in a Helpful Way?

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 10:00:29 GMT

How do you define success when it comes to getting anxiety or OCD under control? What does “recovery” look like to you? What does it look like to your child?

How we view success and how we convey it to our kids is critical. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore what a healthy view of “success” looks like and how to communicate that effectively to our kids.

PSP 319: How to Remove Stigma in Kids with OCD

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 10:00:54 GMT

When kids feel stigma attached to their OCD they are less likely to want to discuss it or receive treatment. One of the first steps we can do to help kids with OCD is to help remove the stigma society has placed on this disorder.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the importance of removing stigma around OCD and concrete ways to do that.

PSP 316: How to Parent While Struggling with Chronic Pain

Tue, 30 May 2023 10:00:42 GMT

Raising kids with anxiety or OCD is hard enough. But when you add chronic pain to your daily routine it can push you over the edge. Often we backburner our own issues. We tell ourselves that we don’t have time for our struggles. That we don’t have time to address our needs. We push through and do more damage in the end.

But the truth is if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to effectively take care of your child. Helping a child with anxiety or OCD is exhausting and chronic pain will only add to that fatigue.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Dr. Andrea Durand, my go-to expert on all things pain related. She explores our relationship with chronic pain and discusses ways we can address the pain to minimize its impact on our daily lives.

PSP 315: Turning OCD Pain into Passion | Shaun Flores

Tue, 23 May 2023 10:00:43 GMT

Shaun Flores had been suffering from OCD for years without knowing it. He hopped from OCD theme to OCD theme, listening to OCD’s lies and searching for certainty with each new worry.

It wasn’t until 2022, when he finally met the right therapist, that he learned that all of his fears had one explanation, OCD.

Shaun has turned his OCD pain into a passion to advocate. Since his diagnosis he has added a new face to the OCD advocacy scene. A face that was desperately underrepresented. As a black man, he is helping normalize a disorder that doesn’t care about race, ethnicity or gender.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I had the honor to talk to Shaun about his journey with OCD and the incredible work he is doing to help others.

PSP 314: How to Help Kids Who Won’t Use Coping Skills

Tue, 16 May 2023 10:00:37 GMT

We all want our kids with anxiety or OCD to use coping skills to deal with anxiety, overwhelm and dysregulation. But what happens when they refuse to use them?

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talked to my go-to expert on coping skills, best selling author and therapist, Janine Halloran. In this episode Janine and I discuss why some kids refuse to use coping skills and what approaches to use in order to help them embrace these tools.

Tue, 09 May 2023 10:00:07 GMT

Tue, 02 May 2023 10:00:51 GMT

When we are raising kids with OCD it is important that we fully understand the therapeutic approaches our kids are being taught in therapy. Ultimately we will want our kids to be able to utilize those tools throughout their life.

The use of imaginal scripts can be an effective tool in their OCD toolbox. In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore what imaginal scripts are, how to write an effective one and the most common pitfalls that make them less effective.

PSP 311: Improving Executive Functioning in Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 10:00:11 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can impact executive functioning in so many different ways. When our children are being bombarded with upsetting thoughts, executive functioning skills can go out the window.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Rachel Kapp and Stephanie Pitts, educational therapists and the hosts of the Learn Smarter Podcast, to discuss ways we can help our kids improve their executive functioning skills.

PSP 309: Helping Kids with the Fear of Choking

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 10:00:55 GMT

One of the most common anxiety themes is the fear of choking. Kids with this fear often hyperfocus on what they eat and how they eat. At its worst they can avoid all sorts of foods that they feel are “unsafe.” This can limit their diet and cause nutritional issues.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the many ways a choking fear can show up, how the fear grows and strategies to help your child move through the fear.

PSP 308: How to Model Self-Esteem and Resilience

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 10:00:51 GMT

What we do matters. What we think matters. We may not be able to control how our kids tackle their anxiety or OCD, but we can control how we model skills to help them.

Anxiety and OCD can hit self-esteem hard. Having self-compassion and self-love can be an uphill battle. How do we talk to ourselves? How much self-compassion do we show ourselves?

Resilience is another key factor in our kids' long term success. Resilience doesn’t mean we don’t crumble. It is what we do with the crumbs that counts. How do we show up to our child’s struggles? How do we show up to our own life’s struggles?

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to improve our own self-compassion and resilience to model those skills for our children.

PSP 307: Moving from OCD Treatment to Living with OCD

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:00:01 GMT

Dealing with OCD isn’t like dealing with a cold. It isn’t cured and then we move on. It can help to shift our perspective to focus on how to live and, more importantly, thrive with OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to shift our kids from a victim to an empowerment mentality (and us as well)! We also dive into how to create a lifestyle that acknowledges and works on OCD organically within the home environment.

PSP 305: CBT vs ERP Treatment for OCD

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 11:00:51 GMT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) are not the same. Many parents seeking treatment for OCD are not aware of that and search just for a CBT therapist.

ERP is a specific type of CBT that provides evidenced-based treatment for those with OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explain the difference between CBT and ERP as well as how to find a therapist trained in ERP.

PSP 304: Teaching Our Kids Not to Engage with OCD

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 11:00:51 GMT

OCD wants us to take its threats seriously. It wants us to debate with it, argue, and come up with solutions to circumvent the issues it presents.

Afraid of germs - let’s think of ways you can avoid it.

Afraid you’ll turn into something you aren’t - let’s remind yourself that you are a good person.

Afraid you forgot something - let’s develop ways you can remember.

All of these solutions are created based on the validity of what OCD is saying. When we learn how to unhook from the stories OCD wants to sell us, we weaken OCD’s grip.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how these issues can show up and how we can teach our kids and teens to not get caught in OCD’s trap.

PSP 303: Behaviors That Hide Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:00:04 GMT

Anxiety and OCD don’t always appear in an obvious way. Sometimes our kids will have behaviors that we would never think would be anxiety or OCD.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about some common behaviors that hide anxiety or OCD and what parents should do when they see them.

PSP 302: Adding Mindfulness and Yoga to Our Anxious Child’s Toolbox

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 11:00:17 GMT

As a cognitive behavioral therapist I talk a great deal about how to help our kids by reframing their anxious thoughts and taking steps to do brave things. But I want to expand your child’s toolbox with other useful ways for them to calm their mind and body. The more diversified our children’s coping mechanisms, the better they will do long term!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Kristi Fischer and Kelly Winkler to the show. They host the podcast Mindful Conversations with KAY (Kidding around Yoga).

In their podcast they talk about using research based tools and strategies to help increase mindfulness, self awareness, connection, self-regulation and peace in your home or classroom. As yoga instructors, prior educators and mom’s themselves, they are the perfect people to have on the show to help us build these skills with our children!

PSP 301: Parenting Beliefs that Stop Anxiety & OCD Progress

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 11:00:50 GMT

We only have a small part to play in our child’s anxiety or OCD success. It is their journey and we are only one piece of that puzzle. But that is a puzzle piece we can work on!

Often our own erroneous beliefs, limitations or fears create unintentional barriers to our child’s long term success with anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore some of those beliefs and fears and how we can address them.

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 11:00:02 GMT

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the most common ways anxiety and OCD impacts sleep and how a lack of sleep impacts anxiety and OCD. I also talk about the approaches that won’t work and what will work instead.

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 11:00:51 GMT

PSP 296: How Can I Stop My Child’s Compulsions?

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:00:26 GMT

So many parents ask me, “How can I stop my child’s compulsions?” The quick answer is, you can’t. You can stop your participation in them, but you can’t force your child to not do compulsions. And even if you can, it isn’t going to bring your child long term success.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I address this common question and explore what parents can and cannot do to help their kids with OCD.

PSP 295: Is Not Talking to My Child’s OCD Making Them Suffer?

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 11:00:21 GMT

I get this question so often I thought it deserved a whole podcast. One of the first things OCD therapists often teach parents is how to pull back their reassurance. This can make a parent feel very uncomfortable and I get it. I have kids with OCD myself.

Parents want to know they are doing the right thing, especially when everything feels counterintuitive.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss how to pull back these reassurances in a loving, compassionate way. I also explain how this is helping your child’s long-term success.

PSP 293: Common Missed Compulsions: Spitting, Confessing & More

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 11:00:53 GMT

Compulsions are often missed by parents and therapists not trained to treat OCD. Sometimes our kids will be doing something right in front of us and we’ll miss it. It is easy to do when OCD has a million different disguises.

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 11:00:33 GMT

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore common core fears that drive restrictive eating and what you can do if your child has ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) or is working their way towards it.

PSP 290: Helping Kids with OCD when it is a Feeling, not a Fear

OCD is not always about a fear, sometimes it is about a feeling. Kids with OCD can have intrusive feelings around disgust. They can have issues where things don’t feel just right. They can be hyper focused on bodily sensations like their breathing, blinking, heart rhythm and bladder.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how these types of OCD themes show up and how to do ERP (exposure with response prevention) with this type of issue.

PSP 289: Parenting a Child with Moral OCD

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 11:00:10 GMT

When kids have Moral OCD, intrusive thoughts they are a bad person, it can be hard to discipline and set boundaries. It can also hit their self-esteem on a level that makes it hard to manage.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to parents about how to navigate the minefield of discipline, redirection, self-esteem and boundary setting in kids with Moral or Scrupulosity OCD.

PSP 281: Supporting Fathers in their Parenting Journey

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 10:00:32 GMT

Parenting can be an isolating journey, but as women we often have many resources at our fingertips. We have Mommy and Me classes and endless Facebook groups ready to get our mama back.

But what about fathers?

The fatherhood journey can feel completely different and comes with its own set of obstacles and struggles.

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 10:00:46 GMT

You finally found help for your child with anxiety or OCD but they don’t want to work on it.

Now what?

That can be beyond frustrating! Especially if it took you a long time to connect with the right resources or help.

But no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is always a next step, even when our child or teen isn’t able or willing to work on anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about some of the reasons why kids don’t want to work on these issues and what parents can do about it.

PSP 279: How to help Your Child with OCD related to Contamination

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 10:00:32 GMT

OCD comes in many different shapes and flavors. One way it shows up is through the concept of “contamination.” Contamination means something different for each person who suffers from OCD, but they all have two things in common:

Something/someone cannot be touched and should be avoided
Contamination can spread from object to object, person to person (and even place to place)

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how parents can help their kids work through contamination fears.

PSP 278: Helping Kids with OCD Know They are Not Alone

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 10:00:39 GMT

Having OCD can be a lonely experience. Kids can feel like there is no one else out there who gets their struggles.

And really, who can blame them?

The media (and even worse social media) often spend their time talking about OCD like it’s a meme or an adjective.

But feeling alone does more than impact the mood and self-esteem. It can stand in the way of progress and impact our child’s long term success.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why it’s SO important to help kids with OCD not feel alone - and how we can go about doing that!

Here are some resources I discuss during the episode:

🌸 Books

What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck

Practice Being Brave

The ACT Workbook for Teens with OCD

Stuff That’s Loud (for Teens)

The OCD Workbook for Teens

Everything is an Emergency (older teens)

PSP 277: Learning How to Let Go of Perceived Control

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 10:00:15 GMT

It is hard not to want to control our child’s anxiety or OCD journey. It is hard not to have expectations for how it should turn out. It’s human nature to want to do everything in our power to help our kids.

But sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves and our children is to recognize what areas we do not control. Sometimes we can make the most progress when we learn to let go of expectations and perceived control.

In this latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I dive into our perceptions of control and explore the concept of acceptance and letting go.

PSP 276: How to Spot if You are Talking to OCD vs Your Child

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 10:00:39 GMT

OCD is sneaky! It hides in the questions our children ask. It disguises itself with curiosity, constant checking or over apologetic responses.

OCD is a family affair and it often gets us as parents to inadvertently grow it on a daily basis.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the many ways OCD blindly hooks us in. I talk about what to look for and how to respond instead.

PSP 273 Are You Remembering Your Own Mental Health?

Tue, 02 Aug 2022 10:00:46 GMT

When we are raising a child with anxiety or OCD it can be all consuming. So consuming that we put everything on hold, including our own mental health. This is a slippery slope because without our own mental stability, we won’t be able to be an anchor for our child.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore why it is so crucial we focus on our own mental health and how this will actually help our children as well.

PSP: 272 Dealing with Disappointment when Anxiety or OCD Comes Back

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 10:00:46 GMT

It can feel so good when anxiety and OCD pack their bags and give you your child back. Heck, give you your home back. So it can be more than jarring, when that unwanted guest shows back up at your front door.

It is normal to feel disappointment, hopelessness and fear.

What if things get really bad again?

What if all our progress goes out the window?

What if this is a life sentence?

Those are understandable feelings after riding past storms.

But anxiety and OCD symptoms come and go and all those skills they patiently grew haven’t disappeared.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to handle those feelings of overwhelm when anxiety or OCD symptoms show up once again. Feelings of overwhelm that not only impact your child, but you as well.

PSP: 271 Fighting OCD is Often Not What Kids Think

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 10:00:15 GMT

You’ll often hear the word “fight your OCD.” In fact, one of my favorite books about OCD is called Talking Back to OCD, by John March. But sometimes kids misunderstand what this means (and parents too). When we talk about fighting OCD we are usually talking about a counterintuitive way to push back. A way to approach OCD that may not seem like traditional “fighting” at all.

In this week’s podcast I talk about the counterintuitive way to “fight” OCD and why we need to clarify this with our kids.

PSP: 270 Getting Kids to Own Their Journey with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 10:00:13 GMT

Many of us learn how to help our kids with anxiety or OCD, but are we doing enough to help them help themselves? Helping our kids own their journey is key to their long term success.

It is similar to that old proverb: If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

If we are the ones telling our kids what to do and how to do it, will they know how to do it for themselves one day?

Our main goal needs to be slowly fostering independence and building empowerment around their journey with anxiety or OCD.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to help kids own their journey with anxiety or OCD.

So what can a parent do?

PSP: 267 Helping Kids with Emetophobia | The Fear of Throwing Up with Dawn Huebner

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 10:00:07 GMT

It might surprise some people that the fear of throwing up, Emetophobia, is one of the most common anxiety and OCD themes. For those of us raising a child with it, it isn’t surprising at all!

Sometimes this fear is triggered by an event or experience, but often it is the imagination alone that causes this immobilizing concern.

We all throw up and many of us see others throw up, but we are able to move past it without too much residual impact.

When you have Emetophobia you get stuck. Stuck worrying that you might get sick. Stuck worrying that others around you might get sick. Stuck analyzing, avoiding and ruminating. A vicious cycle that can keep people from living a full life.

I invited Dr. Dawn Huebner to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to discuss how we can help our kids work through Emetophobia. In her book, Facing Mighty Fears about Throwing Up (Dr. Dawn's Mini Books about Mighty Fears), she teaches kids ages 6-10 years old skills to overcome these struggles.

Dr. Dawn’s other Mini Books about Mighty Fears:

Facing Mighty Fears About Trying New Things

Facing Mighty Fears About Health

Facing Mighty Fears About Animals

PSP: 266 How to Turn Our Child’s “Failures” into Wins

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 10:00:33 GMT

We will all fall short sometimes and so will our children with anxiety or OCD. They will avoid, they will crumble, they will give in to their anxiety or OCD. That is all par for the course.

More often than not they will view these situations as “failures.” They might beat themselves up or use the experience as evidence that they can’t do it again.

So how do we approach our child who couldn’t make it, couldn’t do it, couldn’t get through it? There is learning and growth in everything we do, including our perceived failures.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to help our kids with these stumbles and how to turn those situations into a learning opportunity for growth.

Has your child or teen done an exposure they regret? Here is a YouTube video to help them with that.

PSP: 265 Helping Kids with Anxiety & OCD with the Downtime of Summer

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 10:00:20 GMT

Summer is here and with that comes extra free time for most of our kids with anxiety or OCD. You would think that would be a wonderful thing. Less pressure from school, homework and peer interactions. Less places to be and less things to do.

But for some of our kids that extra downtime can actually increase their anxiety or OCD issues.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why that is and how to structure summer for kids with anxiety or OCD for optimal success.

PSP: 264 Parenting a Child When You Have Anxiety or OCD as Well

Tue, 31 May 2022 10:00:37 GMT

It’s hard enough to parent a child with anxiety or OCD, but when your own mental health issues are added to the mix, it can be all encompassing.

But it’s not all bad.

Having your own anxiety or OCD issues can help you be a better parent to a child with anxiety or OCD.

You can often empathize with your child more than others can. You know how it feels to have struggles and can relate to them in a way others may not. You might catch things earlier and get them help faster. All of this can be invaluable for your child.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Stacy Quick, an OCD therapist with NOCD to talk about how she parents three kids with anxiety and OCD, while having OCD herself.

PSP: 263 Why Parents Shouldn’t Rationalize with OCD

Tue, 24 May 2022 10:00:35 GMT

It is so tempting to try and rationalize with our child’s OCD. It’s a knee jerk reaction that most of us do at some point. We might try to problem-solve their OCD issues away. We might try to bombard them with facts. We might try to convince them that their compulsive behavior won’t do what OCD says it will do.

But it is all a waste of breath. And worse than that, it can do some unintentional harm.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why we shouldn’t rationalize with our child’s OCD and what to do instead.

PSP: 262 The Wait-and-See Approach to Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 17 May 2022 10:00:07 GMT

How often do we hear from family, friends and even doctors that we should “wait and see” if it gets worse. We should wait and see if the anxiety or OCD grows bigger. We should wait and see if anxiety or OCD becomes debilitating. We should wait and see if it is truly an issue.

It is like watching a tornado slowly approach your home and waiting to see if you really need to go seek shelter.

When we proactively help our kids with any anxiety or OCD issue we help them long term. The skills our children learn for anxiety or OCD also help them with life in general.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about why the wait-and-see approach for anxiety or OCD isn’t only bad advice, it can be detrimental to your child’s long-term success.

PSP: 261 Helping Anxious Kids Try New Things with Dawn Huebner

Tue, 10 May 2022 10:00:19 GMT

Anxious kids often have a hard time trying new things. This might impact what they’ll eat, what activities they’ll try or how they feel about going to new places. It can permeate their lives in a way that limits their experiences and holds them back.

When we cater to these fears we can unintentionally grow them bigger. But when we force our kids to try new things we can them shut down.

So what are parents supposed to do?

The key is to help our kids build skills so they can not only tolerate new experiences, but eventually enjoy them too!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Dawn Huebner back to the show to discuss ways we can help our kids build these skills.

In Dr. Dawn’s book, Facing Mighty Fears About Trying New Things, she teaches kids 6-10 years old how to bravely face new things.

Tue, 03 May 2022 10:00:36 GMT

OCD can be stigmatizing enough, but when you add sexual themes it can add another layer of guilt and shame.

It can also make parents and even therapists uncomfortable!

How are you supposed to deal with a sexual intrusive thought that makes you squirm? What if your child’s lack of motivation is due to the embarrassment over the content of their thoughts?

I invited Tracie Ibrahim, an OCD therapist with NOCD to help me unpack the many ways sexual themes can pop up and how to help them through it!

PSP: 259 Helping Kids with Fears of Animals & Insects with Dawn Huebner

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 10:00:29 GMT

Many kids have fears of animals and insects, but for some it can dominate their lives. They might worry about seeing the feared animal or insect. They might go out of their way to avoid an encounter. It might be an all consuming fear that impacts the things they love and enjoy.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast,I invited author and psychologist, Dawn Huebner to help us learn how to help our kids with these fears.

Dawn Huebner is the author of the popular books, What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck and What to Do When You Worry too Much. Check out her new mini books on mighty fears that include Facing Mighty Fears About Animals.

PSP: 258 The Impact of Child Anxiety or OCD on Marriages

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 10:00:30 GMT

There are many things that can put a strain on marriages. Once the honeymoon is over it can be a struggle to agree on finances, household chores and parenting. When anxiety or OCD is in the mix it can make a hard situation even harder.

Couples can struggle with a variety of issues around their child’s anxiety or OCD including:

-Disagreeing on the seriousness of their child’s anxiety or OCD.

-Blaming each other or their parenting for the issue.

-Wanting to approach the issue differently.

-Resentful that they are doing more than their partner.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Anxiety and OCD is draining enough. Couples don’t need to drain each other on top of it. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the many issues couples might encounter while raising a child with anxiety or OCD, and how they can work through them.

PSP: 257 Helping Kids with “Pure O” and Mental Compulsions

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 10:00:18 GMT

Many kids have what some people call “pure O” or purely obsessional thoughts. But more often than not those obsessional thoughts are quieted by a menu of mental compulsions that go along with it. So what is a parent to do if their child is doing unseen mental compulsions?

I explore “Pure O” and mental compulsions in this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

PSP: 256 How Anxiety & OCD Impact Tech Use

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:00:39 GMT

As parents, we all struggle with our children’s tech use. It seems like most kids have their heads buried in their phone, computer or game console.

But what if it goes deeper? What if they are using technology to avoid their anxiety or OCD? What if they are using tech to do compulsions? Or what if tech is part of what is actually growing their anxiety?

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how anxiety and OCD impact tech use and what we can do about it.

PSP 255 How to Handle New OCD Themes

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 10:00:19 GMT

OCD is often like whack a mole. Just when you get one OCD theme under control, BOOM, another one creeps in to take its place.

This can be disheartening, especially if you don’t have the right mindset. OCD is an octopus and its tentacles are the themes. It doesn’t matter what tentacle is causing disruption, it’s the octopus that’s the problem.

Often OCD will present new themes when our kids are making progress with old ones. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a step backwards, sometimes it is a desperate octopus looking for a new angle.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to handle new OCD themes and how to use it as an opportunity to strengthen what your child already knows.

PSP 254 How the Inhibitory Learning Model Changes OCD Treatment

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 11:00:55 GMT

OCD approaches are constantly evolving and changing. This is in part due to the wonderful, ongoing research around OCD.

In recent years we’ve seen a growing number of OCD therapists incorporate ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, into OCD therapy.

We’ve also seen more clinicians embrace the Inhibitory Learning Model approach and have seen practitioners adapt ERP (Exposure with Response Prevention) to reflect these changes.

So what does this all mean?

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll give you the short version of how this might impact how you help your child with OCD.

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 11:00:43 GMT

When kids have anxiety, one of the most powerful tools at their disposal are thoughts themselves!

Our kids can also be our teachers. They come with so many gifts if we allow ourselves to see it that way.

How often do we flinch before they feel anxious?

How often do we swoop in and remove the trigger before our child experiences it?

How often do we catch them before they even fall?

I know I have been guilty of this!

PSP 249 How to Lovingly Detach from Our Kids Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 11:00:48 GMT

Kids with anxiety or OCD need an anchor. They need us to be a rock that helps ground them through the chaos. Unfortunately we cannot do that when we are so immersed in their struggles that we are drowning right along with them.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about learning how to lovingly detach from our child’s anxiety or OCD. I discuss how this is not about removing our love or ignoring our children’s problems, it’s just the opposite. I walk through the steps needed to work on loving detachment and become an anchor for our kids.

PSP 247 When OCD is Misdiagnosed as Learning Issues

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 11:00:50 GMT

OCD doesn’t just stay in our home, it likes to wreak havoc in all areas of life, including at school.

OCD intrusive thoughts and compulsions can make a child look like they:

Struggle to read

Struggle to write

Struggle to do math equations

Struggle to complete assignments

Struggle with comprehension

Struggle with focus

Struggle with expression

Struggle with problem-solving

Sometimes these struggles look like learning difficulties, and often it is just that. But sometimes it’s OCD hiding in disguise.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I discuss how OCD can quietly sabotage our child’s learning and how to identify if that’s an issue.

PSP 246 Letting Go of How Life Should Be

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 11:00:54 GMT

So what happens when all those expectations fall short? What happens when we look at our reality and it doesn’t match up?

Parenting is messy and we don’t get to control how it unfolds. We don’t get to control our children’s struggles or what is plopped on our parenting plate.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about how to let go of how life should be and how to embrace what is in front of us. There are hidden gems in acceptance.

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 11:00:07 GMT

Anxiety and OCD don’t live in an isolated bubble. I wish they did! But unfortunately they often like to hang out with several other issues. The tricky part is knowing how to handle those issues differently, because they require us to do so.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about five common issues that are often seen with Anxiety and OCD. I also explore how those issues are handled differently than how we handle their other struggles.

PSP: 243 Handling Preschooler Sleep Issues

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 11:20:00 GMT

PSP: 243 Handling Preschooler Sleep Issues

One of the first signs of anxiety in young children is sleep disturbance! Sleep disturbance can have a ripple effect throughout a child’s day. It can make them more cranky, anxious and irritable. It can make us, as parents, exhausted and impatient.

That’s why I thought it would be helpful if I brought Allison, a sleep and wellness coach, onto the podcast! Allison focuses on supporting parents who are having newborn, toddler and preschooler sleep issues.

In this latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, Allison explores what causes sleep issues in preschoolers and offers some helpful tips on how to address them!

To learn more about Allison’s work go to her website here. To learn more about her preschool sleep course go here.

Tue, 28 Dec 2021 11:00:05 GMT

But what do we do after those ugly moments are over?

PSP 239 Accommodation vs Validation in Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 11:00:14 GMT

Even though we don’t want to accommodate our child’s anxiety or OCD, it doesn’t mean that we can’t support or reassure our kids.

Yes, I said reassure our kids. It’s how we reassure our kids that matters. Do we reassure their anxiety or OCD, or do we reassure them.

It is important to validate our children’s feelings and help them problem-solve. It is also helpful to reassure them that they’ve got this!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about the difference between accommodation versus validation, problem-solving and healthy reassurance.

PSP: 238 Anxiety & OCD Struggles Around the Holidays

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 11:00:40 GMT

Even though the holidays are exciting, they can bring with it some struggles for our kids with anxiety or OCD. Often these issues are unrelated to their anxiety or OCD themes.

The holidays bring with it downtime, gatherings, new foods, busy schedules and high expectations for fun. All of which can cause our kids stress and anxiety.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about some of the ways the holidays can create struggles and how we can proactively minimize them.

PSP: 237: Raising Multiple Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 23 Nov 2021 11:00:39 GMT

It’s hard enough having one child with anxiety or OCD, but what if you have more than one? What if even your partner or you also struggle?

It can be daunting to realize you have a packed house full of anxiety or OCD. Trust me, I get it! But even though we can’t control if this happens, we can control what we do about it.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to reframe our thoughts around multiple diagnoses and what surprising silver linings come with it.

PSP: 236: Do You Blame Yourself for Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 10:00:55 GMT

It’s hard not to focus on what we have done or haven’t done to help our child’s anxiety or OCD. It is a slippery slope and many of us fall into the black abyss of self-blame.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about why parents shouldn’t blame themselves for their child’s anxiety or OCD. I also talk about how this type of thinking can hold you, and even your child back.

PSP: 234: Why Consequences Don’t Work on Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 10:00:35 GMT

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD is hard enough, but when you disagree with family members on how to approach it, the boat gets even rockier!

In my practice I often watched as family members bickered over whether they should consequence behavior that was anxiety or OCD related.

I would hear things like:

You coddle him too much

You just need to discipline her more

You can’t let them get away with that

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explain why consequences simply do not work on anxiety or OCD behavior and what to do instead.

PSP: 233: When to Push and When Not to Push Our Kids with Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 08:00:24 GMT

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD is a balancing act. We have to learn when to push and when to not push our kids with anxiety or OCD. We want to empower them without overwhelming them. We want to validate their fears without always accommodating them. But how can you tell when you should push it and when you should stop?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about some ways to gauge how far to push your child and when to pull back and more importantly - why.

PSP: 232: Depersonalization, Derealization and Existential Fears

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 09:00:09 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can make our kids question everything, including their reality. This is different from a philosophical curiosity to understand the nature of the universe. These thoughts create sheer panic in our kids and teens.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore depersonalization, derealization and existential fears and talk about how we can help our kids when they are experiencing these struggles.

PSP: 231: Helping Our Kids with Anxiety or OCD by Leaning into Acceptance

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 10:00:54 GMT

It is hard to accept that our child has anxiety or OCD. It is even harder to accept the pain, discomfort and struggle they have to go through each day. But often we spend so much energy trying to swim upstream we get lost in the struggle.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the role acceptance can play not only in our lives, but in the lives of our children.

PSP: 230: How to Help Kids Who are Scared of Needles and Shots

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 10:00:59 GMT

Most people aren’t thrilled to get a shot or get poked by a needle, but some of our kids are deathly afraid. This fear can cause severe panic when going to the doctor, the dentist or worse the lab or hospital!

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I invited a co-host who knows this topic inside and out, my nine-year-old daughter. We talk about what type of fears often pop up around shots and needles and what steps can be taken to reduce your child’s anxiety.

PSP 229: Can my Child Catch Other Anxiety or OCD Themes?

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 10:00:24 GMT

Parents will often ask me, “Can my child catch other anxiety or OCD themes?” What if they read a book on OCD or anxiety and it makes it worse? What if they watch a documentary or participate in a support group with tons of other themes discussed? Won’t their anxiety or OCD just get more ideas?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I go into if and how anxiety and OCD themes can be “caught” and if that is something parents should even worry about.

PSP 228: Teaching Our Kids with OCD and Anxiety Self-Compassion with Kimberley Quinlan

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 10:00:28 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can bring with it distress, fear and discomfort. But it can also bring self-loathing, shame, guilt and negative self-talk.

When our kids are hard on themselves, their issues can compound, making it difficult for them to use their tools to address anxiety or OCD.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I invited Kimberley Quinlan on to talk about how self-compassion plays a large role in the journey of anxiety and OCD. She talks about why it can be difficult to have self-compassion and the ways in which we can grow and foster it.

Kimberley’s book, The Self- Compassion Workbook for OCD comes out October 1, 2021. You can also learn more about her online classes here at CBT School.

PSP 227: Why We Can’t Make Our Child’s Anxiety or OCD Go Away

Tue, 14 Sep 2021 10:00:54 GMT

None of us like to see our kids suffer. That’s why it’s so hard to see our kids struggle with anxiety or OCD. It can consume their life and ours and that’s heartbreaking.

But no matter how badly we would like to take their anxiety or OCD away from them, we just don’t have the power to do so.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about how we often try to make our children’s anxiety or OCD go away, and why it doesn’t work - and sometimes makes it worse. I also cover our role in their journey and the things we can do to make long-term prognosis brighter.

Also, thanks to those of you who have supported my son’s Etsy store and made him feel empowered and confident!

PSP 226: Helping Kids with Sports Anxiety & OCD

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 10:00:45 GMT

Anxiety and OCD love to glom onto everything our children love, including sports. It can make your child anxious, sick and panicky before a game, meet or competition. OCD can go one step further and create compulsions around the sport.

I invited Cali Werner, Anxiety and OCD Clinician, athlete and author of Anxious Annie, to come on to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast and talk to us about how to handle sports related anxiety and OCD struggles.

You can find Cali’s book Anxious Annie here.

PSP 225: The Difference Between Obsessions and Compulsions (and why it matters)!

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 10:00:28 GMT

The biggest gift we can give our kids with OCD is knowledge. The more they understand how OCD works, the more effective they’ll be at crushing it. One of the biggest areas of confusion is the difference between obsessions and compulsions and why it matters.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explain the difference between obsessions and compulsions and how to use that understanding to be more effective when dealing with our child’s OCD.

PSP 224: How to Handle When You and Your Child Both have Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 10:00:55 GMT

Anxiety and OCD are both highly genetic, so it’s not surprising that many parents find themselves raising kids with similar issues. Often though, many of us back burner our own help to focus on our children’s needs.

But what if focusing on your needs also helps your child’s struggles?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk to Nathan Peterson, an anxiety and OCD therapist, a YouTuber and a course creator.

We talk about how our children’s issues can overlap with our own, and what to do about it.

PSP 223: How to Not Compare Your Child to Other Kids

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 10:00:05 GMT

The comparing game can be so tempting.

Why can her kids do that and mine can’t?

Why is it so easy for them and everything is so difficult for us?

Why do we have to go through this?

I wish my child was like that.

Trust me I get it, I live it. But in this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to get out of that mindset or at least not live in it permanently.

PSP 222: Interview with Instagram on Safety Measures for Our Kids & Teens

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 10:00:52 GMT

We cannot cocoon our kids from social media and online platforms forever. Eventually most of our kids will enter the online world. So what can we do as parents to keep our kids safe? What are platforms like Instagram doing to stay on top of the wave of younger and younger children on their platforms?

I had the pleasure of talking with Vaishnavi, Instagram’s head of Safety and Well Being. She discussed the latest changes and policies IG is implementing to help keep our kids safe. She also talks about how we can talk to our kids about online safety.

PSP 219: How to Help a Child with Both Autism and OCD

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 10:00:37 GMT

Many parents who are raising children with both Autism and OCD find themselves in a no man’s land of sorts. Professionals treating Autism don’t always understand OCD and those treating OCD don’t always understand Autism. Ugh. What a struggle.

That is why talking to Dr. Rebecca Sachs is like talking to a rare unicorn. Her practice, CBT Spectrum specializes in both and her knowledge runs deep!

I invited her on to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to answer the most common questions I get from parents who are navigating both these words simultaneously.

PSP 218: The Power of Helping Your Child’s Anxiety by Working on Your Own

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 10:00:49 GMT

Anxiety and OCD doesn’t live in a bubble, it lives in our house. As parents we have to walk the walk and talk the talk. But what does that mean? It means tapping into our own fears, regardless of whether we have anxiety or OCD ourselves. It means knowing ourselves and the human fears that come with it. It means walking towards fear and discomfort the way we ask our kids to do.

In this AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode I talk about why it’s important for all parents to examine their own fears to help their kids. I also talk about how to start doing it!

PSP 217: Helping Kids Who Struggle to Eat with ARFID and OCD

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 10:00:23 GMT

OCD is scary enough, but when it starves your child it is alarming. That is how it feels when OCD goes for the one thing your child can’t live without - food.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about ARFID and OCD. ARFID stands for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder and OCD likes to partner with it. I open up about my son’s ongoing struggle with restrictive eating, our journey and what steps we have taken to help him.

PSP 216: Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Develop Self-Compassion

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:00:31 GMT

Kids with anxiety and OCD often struggle with self-love and self-compassion. It is developmentally common for all kids to struggle with self-compassion, but when you have anxiety and OCD it can be even harder.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk with Madina Alam, a Clinical Advisor with NOCD about how we, as parents, can help our kids develop more self-compassion. When kids have more self-compassion, they are also more empowered to work on their issues! So working on this can be powerful.

Summer is supposed to be relaxing and fun. But anxiety and OCD do not take a break just because it’s summer.

PSP 214: Interview with Dr. Shefali | Helping Mothers Turn Pain into Power

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 10:00:34 GMT

Dr. Shefali is a prominent clinical psychologist and the New York Times best selling author of The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family. In her new book, A Radical Awakening, she talks to women abou how to take their pain and turn it into power.

According to Oprah Winfrey, “The world needs to know. Trailblazing. Life-enhancing. [A Radical Awakening is] one of those books you will want to keep on your nightstand.”

In my interview with Dr. Shefali I dive deeper into what it means to be a parent and mother to kids with anxiety and OCD. We talk about how we separate their pain and their journey from our own. We go into how to live our own authentic truth and become free from the burden of living in judgment.

PSP 213: When You Hit Compassion Fatigue with Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 10:00:17 GMT

None of us signed up to raise a child with anxiety or OCD. It wasn’t what we dreamed of when we poured over all the pregnancy and parenting books. And yet, here we all are, trying to not only survive, but thrive with our kids and their struggles.

What happens when compassion runs dry? What happens when we feel resentful or angry at our kids or the situation?

You are not alone if you’ve experienced those feelings. In fact, to be real, most of us have at one point or another.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about what parental compassion fatigue is, what the symptoms are and how we can navigate through it.

PSP 212: How Understanding Anxiety & OCD Themes Can Help Your Child

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 10:00:25 GMT

Anxiety and OCD come in many flavors. Often we even name these flavors with various titles like symmetry OCD, Harm OCD, Separation Anxiety, Emetophobia etc.

Does it really matter what theme of anxiety or OCD my child has?

Yes and no.

There are pitfalls to wearing blinders and only focusing on your child’s anxiety or OCD theme.

However there are also incredible benefits to understanding the various ways anxiety and OCD can show up.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I will talk about the good, the bad and the ugly related to understanding your child’ anxiety and OCD themes and how to use them to catapult your child’s progress.

PSP 211: Why Anxiety or OCD Therapy is Not Enough for Our Kids

Tue, 18 May 2021 10:00:39 GMT

Many of us think that if only we can find a qualified anxiety or OCD child therapist, all of our child’s struggles would go away.

I wish that were true. I wish that was the case for the children that I have treated and for my own children.

But the truth is, as parents we have a major role in how our children do. Even if they are refusing help, there are things we do that can help or hurt the situation. There are things that we need to do for ourselves as well in order to survive.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about what our role is as parents and how it can help our kids.

PSP 210: How to Help Kids with Anxiety or OCD When They are Angry

Tue, 11 May 2021 10:00:25 GMT

Kids with anxiety or OCD aren’t just fearful, often they are angry. Anxiety and OCD can cause kids to rage, meltdown and talk back. It can make them dig their heels in and be oppositional.

But when parents react to those behaviors in “typical” ways, they often hit a brick wall.

Why?

Because often anxiety and OCD is the undercurrent driving those emotions. So if you don’t address the undercurrent, you're missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to differentiate between developmentally typical anger vs anxiety or OCD triggered anger. I also talk about the counterintuitive approach to take when you know that the anger was caused by your child’s anxiety or OCD.

Also, sign up for my FREE series called Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD. It starts May 6th, 2021 and you can watch the videos anytime during the week the series is running.

PSP 209: Helping Anxious Kids Change Teachers or Therapists

Tue, 04 May 2021 10:00:04 GMT

Change is hard on most kids, but it can be especially hard on anxious kids. So what happens when they have to change their teacher or therapist? It can be rough, especially if they were well bonded to the teacher or therapist before the change.

Change offers our kids the ability to practice flexibility and can build their adaptation skills. The question is how to do that - especially when they are devastated by the loss.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about some ways to discuss this change with your child to help them transition successfully to a new teacher or therapist.

PSP 207: How to Help Kids Who are Scared of Bugs

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 10:00:19 GMT

Many kids and even adults are scared of bugs. But for some of our kids it goes way beyond that. Perhaps they won’t go outside, won’t go to the park or won’t go swimming because of their fear of insects. Maybe they are worried about taking a shower or a bath or even going to the bathroom.

What are you supposed to do to help your child move through such a debilitating fear of bugs?

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about some of the approaches I take when trying to help a child with their fear of bugs. Hopefully it can help your kids too!

PSP 206: How Self-Esteem Plays a Role in Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 10:00:21 GMT

Anxiety and OCD will often take a swing at our child’s self-esteem. It can do that with the anxious or intrusive thoughts it bombards them with. It can do that by paralyzing them with fear, as they watch their peers not struggle.

It can also be present alongside anxiety or OCD. It can help pick their anxiety or OCD themes. Social anxiety, perfectionism and Moral OCD all use self-esteem in their arsenal of weapons.

In this podcast, I explore how self-esteem dances with anxiety and OCD. I will highlight what areas to look into and talk about how focusing on your child’s self-esteem will in turn help their battle with anxiety and OCD.

PSP 205: Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Cope with Grief or Trauma

Tue, 06 Apr 2021 10:00:32 GMT

It’s hard enough to have anxiety or OCD, but what happens when your child is hit with grief or trauma? It can feel like a muddy, chaotic mess.

Unfortunately life happens and so do tragedies. Our kids are not immune to life happening to them, I wish they were.

Anxiety and OCD are opportunistic. It will feed off the grief and trauma by trying to grow new themes and new compulsions.

Our family has suffered an unthinkable and sudden loss. My children are grieving the loss of their father. That alone would be an insurmountable feat. But they are also quietly fighting off another more subtle battle. The battle of an opportunistic disorder that thrives in chaos and tries to piggyback on any of life’s struggles.

In this episode I talk about how to keep your head above water, while trying to make sure that your child’s anxiety or OCD doesn’t gain momentum.

PSP 204: Update on Tragedy that has Devastated Our Family

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 11:26:59 GMT

For those of you that aren’t aware, my husband died suddenly of a blood clot ten days after a minor Achilles surgery. The grief has been all consuming for me and my three children. I know my podcast, youtube channel, social media posts and emails have abruptly stopped almost a month ago and I didn’t have the energy to even explain why.

I was touched by all the outpouring of love from around the world from those that heard about my loss. I wanted to thank everyone who reached out, mailed me cards and donated to the gofundme account that circulated FB. The love was definitely felt from all directions and was so appreciated.

After he died I decided to close my practice, as my hours were only evenings and weekends, the time my kids will need me the most.

My online resources, classes and AT Parenting Community membership will be my sole focus moving forward. Currently I plan on returning to my online work on April 1st.

I made this video to be played at my husband’s funeral more for his co-workers than for me. Even though it is raw and vulnerable I was encouraged to share it more broadly and I decided to do so in the hopes it could impact even one more person to live a life full of love and connection.

Click here to watch it:

To help grieving children deal with the loss of their parent, you can donate in honor of Jimmie Daniels at https://billysplace.me. They have been a complete godsend for our family during this time.

We are still grieving, so please accept my apologies for not commenting or responding if you reach out. I am going to be staying off social media until I return on April 1st.

PSP 203: How Online Support Can Be A Game Changer for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 11:00:07 GMT

There are common stories among parents raising kids with anxiety or OCD. Stories of struggling to find a well trained anxiety or OCD child therapist. Stories of feeling isolated and alone. Stories of friends, family or the school not fully getting the depths of their child’s struggles.

These are stories that don’t have to continue. There is plenty of support out there. Support that can reach every corner of the globe - you just need to know where to find it.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk with Jo, a mom from the UK, who was feeling lost and overwhelmed on how to help her daughter. She was lost until she discovered online resources that helped guide her on what to do next.

PSP 202: Why Mental Health Professionals are Missing Signs of OCD and The Damage it Causes

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 11:00:04 GMT

When you get assessed by a mental health professional you assume that they would be well versed in all possible diagnoses. You assume they will identify, diagnose and treat any possible mental health struggle. Unfortunately that assumption is not only wrong, but dangerous.

OCD seems to be the step-child of mental health education and training. Which is mind boggling considering, according to the International OCD Foundation, 1 out of 100 adults have OCD and 1 out of 200 children and teens do as well.

Think about that for a moment. The same amount of children have OCD as Diabetes. This is not a rare mental health disorder, and yet there is this pervasive lack of training and expertise around the issue.

Mental health professionals aren’t given the education in their graduate programs. They are often not taught that OCD is not just about washing hands or tapping some magical number.

They often don’t realize that a person can have OCD if they have an intrusive thought that they are a bad person and they need to confess all their “bad” thoughts to those they love.

They often don’t understand that a person can have OCD if they have an intrusive feeling that they might stop breathing, so they have to continually take deep breaths.

Or that a person can have OCD if they have an intrusive thought that they want to harm others or themselves. That one in particular can be dire in the hands of a mental health professional who does not understand OCD.

According to the International OCD Foundation (link: https://iocdf.org/professionals/training-institute/ for that statement), on average it can take someone up to 17 years from the onset of symptoms to get properly diagnosed and begin receiving effective treatment. That is unacceptable.

In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk to Cameron Kleimo, a mom and therapist who has a similar story to my own. Her graduate program didn’t teach her how to spot OCD. And it wasn’t until she was stumped by her own child’s behavior that she discovered that they both had OCD.

PSP 201: How to Motivate Our Kids to Work on Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 11:00:06 GMT

One of the biggest challenges parents face when raising a child with anxiety or OCD is...motivation. How do we motivate our kids to face their fears? How do we motivate our kids to sit in discomfort? How do we motivate them to even talk about their struggles.

That can feel like an uphill battle.

And yet, if you don’t have buy-in, it will be like trying to drive while someone has their foot firmly on the brake.

Our children’s struggles are their struggles, not ours. And only they will be able to take the necessary steps that will lead to long-term change. We can do our part by reducing our accommodations and our role in the anxiety or OCD, but the rest will be up to them.

So that brings us back to motivation.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I invited Dr. Amy Jenks, an anxiety & OCD therapist in the Bay Area to chat with me about how to help parents motivate their kids to work on anxiety or OCD.

PSP 200: How to Tell When It’s Difficult Behavior or When It’s Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 11:00:31 GMT

Your child is refusing to clean their room, go to bed or go to school. They are digging their heels in and it doesn’t look like they are going to budge. What are you supposed to do?

Well if your child has anxiety or OCD, you might want to take an extra step and ask yourself, “Is this behavior caused by their anxiety or OCD?”

Why does this matter? Does it mean you are going to give them a complete pass on both their behavior and the task at hand?

Not exactly. It means you are going to approach it from a different angle. An angle that will help build your child’s skills so they can learn how to manage their anxiety or OCD.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about how to decipher if your child’s behavior is caused by their anxiety or OCD struggles.

For more in-depth help on how to help your child through difficult behavior related to their struggles take my online course, How to Help Kids with Difficult Behavior Caused by Anxiety or OCD at https://atparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behavior.

I’d love to invite you to sign up for my FREE 3-part video series: Self-Care for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD. Learn how to shift your mindset, read your body and super size your support to be more effective in helping your child and yourself!

PSP 199: How to Help a Child with Social Anxiety

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 11:00:23 GMT

Social anxiety isn’t about not being able to make friends or keep friends. It is about the overwhelming feeling of judgment, criticism and rejection one feels.

In this week’s podcast I chat with my 9 year old about her struggles with social anxiety (it runs in the family), and what has helped her make huge progress crushing those struggles.

PSP 196: How to Help Your Child with Anxiety or OCD Advocate for Themselves

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 11:00:09 GMT

As much as we want to protect our child from anything and everything, it is important that we teach them how to advocate for themselves. This is especially true when our kids have anxiety or OCD. They need to know how to articulate how they feel and what they need. This is true in both the school environment and even to some extent in the home environment.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about how we can teach our kids the skills to advocate for themselves. A gift we can give them that will have long-term benefits!

PSP 195: How to Help Your Child Maintain Progress with Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 11:00:58 GMT

So your child has just crushed their anxiety or OCD. You are feeling on top of the world and so are they. Now what? This is often when the ball is dropped. It is often when the seeds of the next infestation of weeds are left to grow, unchecked and unmanaged.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Maintaining progress is just as important, if not more important. It is developing those life long skills and habits that will make anxiety and OCD manageable throughout their life.

So what does the maintenance stage look like? In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I outline some of the key steps to take to make sure your child’s progress continues to grow.

PSP 194: Coping Skills for Anxious Teens with Janine Halloran

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 11:00:09 GMT

It’s hard to get our kids to use coping skills, but it’s even harder when they are teens who don’t like to be told what to do! In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I had the privilege of talking with Janine Halloran from Coping Skills for Kids. We discussed how to approach teens so they are more likely to use coping techniques! We also talk about her new book, Coping Skills for Teens.

PSP 193: How to Not Pass Our Fears onto Our Kids

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 11:00:25 GMT

Our kids are emotional sponges. They soak up our happiness, but they also soak up our fears. Often when trying to help our kids with anxiety we might project our own worries onto them. Sometimes we might spread our fear throughout the house.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I dive into three main topics. First, how do we keep our fears in check during this global pandemic and societal unrest so we don’t inadvertently spread those fears to our children? Second, how can we decipher what are our fears and what are our child’s fears? Sometimes we smush the two together and reality gets blurred. Lastly, how can we respond to our kids when their anxiety makes us anxious? What can we do when sitting with our children’s anxiety creates our own?

PSP 191: Should You Tell Your Child They Have Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 19:00:00 GMT

Many parents worry about telling their child they have anxiety or OCD. Some worry about potentially labeling their kids. Some worry that it will make their child feel different. Others worry about the stigma the child will face.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival episode, I dive deep into the pros and cons of telling your child that they have anxiety or OCD. I also explore the pros and cons of reading children’s books with various anxiety or OCD themes. Many parents worry that exposing a child to other anxiety or OCD themes, will cause them to “catch” new themes and make their struggles worse.

PSP 190: When OCD isn’t a Fear But Rather a Feeling of Disgust

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 11:00:00 GMT

Unfortunately many people believe, including some mental health professionals, that in order to have OCD you must have a core fear. Sadly, many people get misdiagnosed because people are searching up, down and all around for a fear. But OCD doesn’t have to be an intrusive thought, it can also be an intrusive feeling.Many people with OCD will have an overwhelming feeling of disgust or grossness. This feeling causes so much discomfort that they will do everything in their power to avoid it. That is why they often develop compulsions and extreme avoidance. In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how disgust and grossness play a role in OCD.To join my FREE 3-Part Video Series: Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD go to http://bit.ly/survivaltoolsforparents ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Let me become your $5 mini-coach.

PSP 189: Handling the Grief that Comes with an Anxiety or OCD Diagnosis

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 10:00:00 GMT

Most of us had a fantasy of what parenting would look like. It might have involved Pinterest crafts, bake sales and play dates. It probably didn’t include hyperventilating, panic and avoidance. None of us signed up to parent a child with anxiety or OCD and most of us weren’t prepared to do it.It’s normal to have grief over what would have been. It’s normal to feel sad about the extra layer of struggles that were scooped onto your parental plate. But how do you move through that grief? How do you work through it so you are better equipped to help your child?In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the grief that most of us feel when raising a child with anxiety or OCD, myself included. I also talk about how to not get so lost in the weeds that you aren’t able to find your way out.To join my FREE 3-Part Video Series: Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD go to http://bit.ly/survivaltoolsforparents ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Let me become your $5 mini-coach.

PSP 187: Empowering Our Kids with Anxiety or OCD to Help Themselves

Mon, 05 Oct 2020 10:00:00 GMT

We want the best for our kids. We want our kids to blossom and live a happy fulfilling life. But when our kids start to struggle with anxiety or OCD we might think that rosy picture is gone forever. We might think we have to “cure” anxiety or OCD for them to be well again. But that’s the wrong way to look at it. We don’t need to “cure” them, because that’s actually an impossibility, we need to train them. Kids with anxiety or OCD can have a beautifully productive and happy life, but they need the right tools and the right training to go along with it.In this latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about the importance in empowering our kids to help themselves and how to build their skills for long-term success.To join my FREE 3-Part Video Series: Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD go to http://bit.ly/survivaltoolsforparents ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Let me become your $5 mini-coach.

Most teens don’t want people to tell them what to do, especially their parents. So what are parents supposed to do when they desperately want to help their teen with OCD? Sometimes that can be tricky. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I invited Lisa Coyne, the co-author of the book, Stuff That’s Loud and the founder and senior clinical consultant of the McLean OCD Institute for Children and Adolescents.

PSP 185: New OCD Graphic Novel for Teens | Interview with Jason Adam Katzenstein

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 09:00:00 GMT

Jason Adam Katzenstein gets it. He gets the struggle of what it feels like to have OCD and he gets the fear that comes along with trying to crush it. Luckily for the OCD community, Jason is a popular and gifted cartoonist who decided to take his personal and vulnerable story and turn it into a graphic novel for the rest of the world to see.Through images and words, he is able to encapsulate the struggles of OCD and the feeling of triumph when you start to push back. I had the pleasure of talking with Jason about his life, his book and his view of OCD.

PSP 184: Four Simple Steps to Help Kids Self-Regulate with Lauren Spigelmyer

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 11:00:00 GMT

Many of our kids have a hard time self-regulating. Just like other skills, we often have to teach our kids how to successfully handle their difficult emotions. This can be especially hard for kids that have anxiety and OCD. When you are a child who already struggles with hyperarousal, it doesn’t take much to throw you completely off kilter.That is why I invited Lauren Spigelmyer, the founder and Executive Director of The Behavior Hub. She is Also a Upenn Professor at the Trauma-invested Schools. She offers us a simple framework in which we can help our children self-regulate.

It can get pretty overwhelming parenting a child with anxiety or OCD. But this is a marathon not a sprint and burn out isn’t an option. Overwhelm is an issue we all deal with throughout this journey. It is something that can creep up on you without any warning.

PSP 182: Helping Anxious Kids Wear Masks

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 10:00:00 GMT

Masks are a struggle for many kids, but if your child has anxiety or OCD it can be a much BIGGER struggle. This could be due to many reasons. Maybe they feel claustrophobic. Maybe they have sensory issues. Or maybe they have social anxiety and it seems embarrassing. Regardless of what the struggle is the end result is the same – a child refusing to wear a mask.This becomes extra tricky when masks are required in many areas. So in this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I outline some mask hacks to help reduce your child’s anxiety and get them to acclimate to the discomfort.Mini-Coaching Episodes:I am starting my mini-coaching episodes!

PSP 180: Important Highlights from the OCD Conference for Parents

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 10:00:00 GMT

The International OCD Foundation’s annual conference was cancelled along with pretty much everything else in 2020. But the online version did not disappoint, offering some great takeaways for parents raising kids with OCD. In the latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I highlight some areas parents need to be updated on if they haven’t already. We talk about approaches for treatment resistant kids and how the Inhibitory Learning Model is altering the way we do exposures. Much of this is a review, but a great reminder of how things have been tweaked due to research in the last several years.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 179: Understanding Magical Thinking in OCD

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 10:00:00 GMT

OCD symptoms and behaviors can look vastly different in each person. You might have a child who has compulsions centered around contamination while another person might have a child with compulsions around magical thinking. You might have a child with both!I always tell parents that you want to be well versed in all the many ways OCD can pop up. OCD is whack-a-mole and it often changes themes and compulsions over time. The best proactive action you can take to help your child with OCD is knowledge.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explain what OCD magical thinking is, how it shows up and how to help a child who is dealing with it.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 178: Helping Anxious Kids Who Crumble Under Pressure

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 10:00:00 GMT

Anxious kids crumble under pressure for a variety of reasons. They might worry about deadlines and school work. They might worry about the social pressures of being called on or being watched. They might fear being less than perfect or being worse than others. They might have difficulties making decisions, worried about picking the wrong choice.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk about why kids crumble under pressure and how to help them. Sometimes avoidance is actually a bigger issue called PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance). This is a subtype on the autistic spectrum. Currently it is not as well known in the United States.

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 10:00:00 GMT

“He’s just shy, he’ll grow out of it.” That’s what many parents hear when they voice their concerns about a child with undiagnosed Selective Mutism. Selective Mutism is often missed or completely misunderstood.

PSP 173: What to Do When Therapy isn’t Enough for a Child with Anxiety or OCD

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 09:00:00 GMT

Your child needs help, but therapy isn’t cutting it. Maybe it’s because she refuses to go or perhaps it’s because her issues are just too intense for outpatient therapy.What’s a parent supposed to do when the help isn’t helping? Outpatient therapy is where the road starts, not where it ends. Many parents don’t realize that. In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Sami, a member of my AT Parenting Community to discuss her journey trying to help her daughter with OCD. She discussed the process of getting her into a PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) and her experience once she was in.Sami is also a Life Coach for teen girls. She offers programs to support teens, including a few that help anxious teens.

PSP 172: How to Handle the Stress of Raising a Child with Anxiety or OCD

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 17:00:00 GMT

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD should come with a warning label, “Warning: May be hazardous to your health.” Being a rock to a child that is often flailing in the sea of chaos, can be draining to even the best of us. It can wear you down, destroy your sleep and impact your mood stability.But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are ways that we can maintain our health and mental stability, while still helping a less than stable child.In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the quicksand many of us find ourselves in and some simple ways you can claw yourself out of it.Also, to sign up for the 3-Part Video Series: Self Care for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD starting on June 23rd, 2020 go to:www.bit.ly/selfcareseries4 or text ATSELFCARE to the number 44222.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 171: Understanding Emetophobia, The Fear of Throwing Up with Chrissie Hodges

Tue, 16 Jun 2020 03:00:00 GMT

Parents often grapple with what may have caused their child to become so deathly afraid of throwing up. They come up with theories. Maybe it was the time she saw her cousin throw up? Or maybe it was the time she got sick in the car? Or maybe it was the time she got food poisoning?But in reality, the fear of throwing up (also known as Emetophobia) just happens.Kids who are genetically prone to anxiety or OCD are at a higher risk of developing Emetophobia. Yes, it can be triggered by an external event, but the genetic seeds are usually just waiting to sprout. That event often only triggers what was already waiting in the wings.Just think about how many times people have seen others throw up or who have had bad experiences throwing up themselves. Most of those people don’t develop a severe fear of throw up. Emetophobia is just one of many ways anxiety and OCD can manifest.So how do you help your child with Emetophobia? Often it is the opposite of what you would think.I invited Chrissie Hodges to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to discuss her life long battle with Emetophobia. Chrissie has been a powerful advocate for those suffering with OCD. She is a mental health advocate and speaker and provides OCD peer support and consultation.She was awarded the 2017 International OCD Foundation’s Advocacy Hero Award for all of her work. She is the author of Pure O: The Invisible Side of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is the Executive Director of OCD Game Changers, an international non-profit group dedicated to helping people with OCD, their families and providers.You can learn more about Chrissie, her work and OCD Game Changers on her website http://www.chrissiehodges.com And on OCD Game Changers website http://www.ocdgamechangers.com.You can order her book, Pure OCD here: https://amzn.to/2BMZRg0Also, to sign up for the 3-Part Video Series: Self Care for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD go to:www.bit.ly/selfcareseries4***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 170: How to Help Anxious Kids Help Themselves

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 03:00:00 GMT

It is hard to watch our anxious kids suffer. It is hard to stomach their pain. It is very tempting to swoop in and protect them. To soften their fall. To protect them from feeling discomfort. But that is robbing them of the opportunity to build their skills. I find that the best way to help anxious kids is to teach them how to help themselves.But easy to say, right?

PSP 169: A Parent’s Journey Through Anxiety and Autism

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 03:00:00 GMT

Autism can be a confusing disorder because it often comes with so many other comorbid conditions. Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can show signs of anxiety, OCD and ADHD. Initially it can be hard for parents and even professionals to get an accurate diagnosis.In this month’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast segment Member Spotlight, I talk to Lynn about her struggles trying to understand her daughter’s behavior. She talks about how her daughter was given an anxiety diagnosis early on, but how she felt like something was missing.To listen click below:***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 168: How to Spot OCD Symptoms in Teens

Tue, 26 May 2020 03:00:00 GMT

Most kids with OCD go into adulthood without a diagnosis. This means years of feeling different. Years of feeling ashamed. And years of little to no support. If parents and therapists can learn how to spot OCD symptoms in teens, we could help them save years of unnecessary pain and suffering.OCD requires a very specific therapeutic approach called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). If a teen’s OCD symptoms are missed, they are also missing the help they so desperately need and deserve.Sadly teens with OCD who go undiagnosed have a higher likelihood of suffering from depression and ongoing symptoms.So what are the signs of OCD in teens? It’s not always an easy thing to detect. Teens with OCD have had years to develop compulsions. Many of them have gotten very good at the art of hiding these behaviors.Let’s start with what OCD is and what it isn’t.OCD is not about being a “neat freak.” Many extremely messy teens are silently suffering from OCD. OCD is not about being obsessed with organizing. Many disorganized teens can still have OCD.OCD is about having an intrusive thought, feeling, image or song stuck in one’s head and the need to do or avoid something to get some brief relief. The problem is, the more you do or avoid, the bigger the OCD grows.OCD isn’t just about germs. In fact, many people with OCD don’t worry about germs. There are many different “sub-types” or themes around OCD.The common denominator though is this: They all have an intrusive thought, feeling, image or song in their head and they all do compulsions to get some relief. So how can you tell if your teen has OCD?When in doubt, go see an OCD therapist to get a proper assessment. You can visit the International OCD Foundation’s therapist directory (www.iocdf.org/find-help) to see if there is anyone in your area. It is always good to be proactive and get professional help. This podcast episode is just to help jump start you in thinking about OCD in a different way so you don’t miss it.You can also check out NOCD teletherapy services at: https://go.treatmyocd.com/at_parenting***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxietyHelping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 167: What is Emotional Contamination OCD?

Tue, 19 May 2020 03:00:00 GMT

OCD can wreak havoc in any family. But one sub-type of OCD that can be particularly painful is emotional contamination OCD. Emotional contamination issues can hurt family relationships and confuse parents.Sadly most people, even mental health professionals, understand very little about how OCD can manifest. OCD isn’t just about germs and constant cleaning. OCD has many themes and sub-types. It is so important for families raising kids with OCD to educate themselves on the various ways OCD can show up. The best defense against OCD is to recognize it’s many disguises.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I discuss what emotional contamination OCD is and how it shows up in children and teens.***You also don’t want to miss Alisha’s Picky Eating Workshop Series outlining the 2-Step Process to moving your child From picky eater to healthy child.

Anxiety likes to whisperthings about food too. It’s too chewy. It’s too smelly. What if’s like to have their turn too. What if Ichoke? What if it tastes really bad?In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Alisha Grogan, an Occupational Therapistand creator of the site, Your Kid’s Table to offer us three simple ways to help our kids with picky eating.Her ideas are simple to carry out, yet highly effective.You also don’t want to miss Alisha’s Picky Eating Workshop Series outlining the 2-Step Process to movingyour child From picky eater to healthy child.

PSP 164: A Parent’s Journey Handling Her Child’s Separation Anxiety

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 03:23:40 GMT

Clinical Separation Anxiety isn’t a toddler problem. In fact, symptoms often start to show up when kids are in elementary or middle school. Separation Anxiety Disorder isn’t about having a toddler follow you around. It is about having a child who experiences sheer panic when they are not by your side. It is about having a child who needs to know your whereabouts every second of every day. In this month’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast Member Spotlight segment, I interviewed Shannon, an AT Parenting Community Member and a mom to three kids. She graciously agreed to share with us her journey helping her kids with separation anxiety.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.com Sign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes: To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCD http://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxiety Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 163: Three of the Most Commonly Missed Compulsions in Childhood OCD

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 03:37:12 GMT

OCD loves to hide. It loves to go undetected. We often think that compulsions are obvious behaviors, like over washing or over straightening. Things that we can see. Things we can measure.But compulsions are often so much more complicated than that. They can be subtle. They can hide in plain sight.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I reveal the three most commonly missed compulsions in childhood OCD. If your child has OCD, it is highly likely that they are doing at least one of these.Links to kids youtube videos:Ocd loop: https://youtu.be/SjoNAKgt2yQMental compulsions: https://youtu.be/bJR7KUGmeokReassurance: https://youtu.be/MMHDc7oAuagUnstuck: an OCD Kids Movie: www.ocdkidsmovie.com***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCDhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxiety Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

Or how do you handle sleepovers when you know your child might not make it through the night?These are just a few of the many questions we dive into on the latest episode of The AT Parenting Survival Podcast. In this episode I invited Evie & Sarah from the podcast Modern Manners for Moms & Dads to help us explore the best way to handle these awkward situations.To listen to Evie & Sarah’s podcast Modern Manners for Moms and Dads click here.

Tue, 24 Mar 2020 03:33:31 GMT

We are living in an ever-changing world. Our kids are living in an ever-changing world. This might be a scary notion to many, especially considering what is going on in our world right now.But what if we had the capability of improving our child’s resilience? What if we could teach our kids to systematically move towards their fears instead of away from them. What if we could teach our kids how to build up their ability to be adaptable, flexible and thrive under challenging conditions.In the latest episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Madeline Levine on to discuss just that. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Teach Your Child Well and The Price of Privilege. In her new book, Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World, she talks about the necessity for us to shift gears in how we approach parenting.We discussed what skills our children will need to be successful and how we, as parents, can foster those skills.To listen click here:To learn more about Madeline Levine’s work visit her website https://madelinelevine.com or view her books here on Amazon (affil links):Ready or Not: https://amzn.to/3bkMpMHThe Price of Privilege: https://amzn.to/2UejxjOTeach Your Child Well: https://amzn.to/2xi1Qqj***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comSign up for my weekly email newsletter:https://pages.convertkit.com/740ba8cd83/92109b7172Take one of my online classes:To view the entire online school library, go to:http://www.ATparentingSurvivalSchool.comClasses include:How to Crush Social Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-social-anxietyParenting Kids with OCDhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/child-ocdCrush Moral OCD in Kidshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/moral-ocdTeaching Kids to Crush Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/crush-anxiety Helping Kids with Anxiety or OCD Through Difficult Behaviorshttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/difficult-behaviorsHelping Kids Who are Scared to Sleephttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/scared-to-sleepHandling Sensory-Based Anxietyhttp://www.ATparentingsurvivalschool.com/p/sensory-anxietyLibrary of Live Anxiety and OCD Classes (20 hours of class replays)http://www.ATparentingSurvivalschool.com/p/libraryUltimate list of helpful anxiety products:https://www.ATparentingsurvival.com/reduce-child-anxiety/ To join my private Facebook group visit:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ATparentinganxiouskids/Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 155: An Adoptive Mom Talks About her Journey Raising a Child with Invisible Needs

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 04:16:58 GMT

Many of us fantasized what parenthood would look like way before we had children. Our ideas of parenthood might have been solidified in early childhood, as we tucked our baby doll into her toy crib. Or it may have been dreamt about the moment we knew we were about to become a parent.But for some of us, the dream and reality didn’t match. Our children had issues. Our children had fears. Our children had struggles.Janelle Molony’s idea of motherhood wasn’t what she had imagined. After entering the world of foster care to adopt her child, she was thrown into a whirlwind of issues and struggles she wasn’t anticipating. In her memoir, Un-Adoptable? Faith Beyond Foster Care, she recounts her struggles and triumphs and how ultimately, she was able to move out of the darkness and into the light.I had the pleasure of talking with Janelle on this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast. To learn more about Janelle’s work go to her website, www.adoptiontolife.com or check out her book Un-Adoptable?

PSP 153: The Lonely Journey of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD

Sun, 09 Feb 2020 02:06:58 GMT

When I began my journey parenting kids with anxiety or OCD, it was a lonely experience – and I am an anxiety and OCD child therapist!I felt my judgement was questioned.I felt the diagnoses were questioned.I felt like my parenting was questioned.I can only imagine how others without my expertise might feel. I knew enough to trust my gut.I knew enough to stand up and defend my children’s diagnoses.I knew enough to understand that others weren’t going to get my kids or my parenting.What about the sea of parents who don’t know enough? Who question their judgement? Who second guess the diagnosis? Who join the others and berate their own parenting?This podcast episode is for you. I hear you. I see you. I understand you.You are not alone.To learn more and join the AT Parenting Community go to: www.ATparentingCommunity.com. The doors close on February 11th, 2020.

PSP 147: Do You Worry if Your Child’s Progress Will Last with their Anxiety or OCD?

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Anxiety and OCD can take its toll. It can be exhausting, overwhelming and traumatizing for the whole family. So, when your child starts to make some big improvements, it’s normal to be worried about how long it will last. It’s normal to doubt the progress. You might ask yourself, “Is this for real? Is this the new normal?”Many of us live waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am TOTALLY guilty of this. Luckily, I have a husband who auto-corrects my anxious mind. I also work everyday to re-frame my catastrophic thinking.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am talking about how to soak up your child’s success without living in the future of What if’s.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 144: Surviving the Holidays with Kids Who Have Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:35:50 GMT

I love the holidays. I mean LOVE them! But my three anxious kids can hit some pretty big bumps during the holiday season. In fact, most kids who have anxiety or OCD hit a few bumps during this time of year.There is the chaos. The crowds. And then there are the new foods, constant parties, scratchy clothing, lots of socializing, busy schedule and high hopes for what they’ll get. All that leaves some pretty cranky kids by early January.In this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I was asked to talk about tips to help kids with anxiety or OCD survive the holidays.

PSP 143: How Our Expectations and Stress Impact Our Child with Anxiety or OCD

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 21:09:17 GMT

We often think there is nothing we can do if our child doesn’t work on their anxiety or OCD. I often say, we are in the passenger seat and they are in the driver’s seat. But there is one thing, one HUGE thing we can do. We can work on how our expectations of our child’s success or failure impact the outcome. We can also work on our stress. Because our stress doesn’t live in a bubble, it’s contagious and likes to spread throughout our family.In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I talk all about how to take the reigns and help your child by making some simple steps to help yourself.Also, just for this week you can catch my 3-part video series called Self-Care for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD.

PSP 140: Talking All About Self Care with Dr. Orlena

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 22:44:27 GMT

Does “self-care” equal “self-ish” to you? Often there is a negative connotation with the idea of focusing on yourself, especially when you have a child who is in crisis. Sadly, that is when self care is the most needed.When we are depleted, anxious or overwhelmed we are in no condition to help our kids. Believe it or not, the very first step in helping our kids with anxiety or OCD is to help ourselves. So how do you do that? Where do you start?I invited Dr. Orlena Kerek to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to talk to us all about self care!

PSP 139: Did You Know it is OCD Awareness Week? What that Means for You and Your Child

Tue, 15 Oct 2019 04:27:08 GMT

I know there are a bazillion awareness weeks and months. Every cause, issue or disease has a color or a month. But I wanted to talk to you about why OCD Awareness Week is so important and how you can take part with even the smallest of gestures.OCD is one of the most misunderstood disorders. Which is sad considering it can be one of the most debilitating conditions a person can experience. Part of the reason OCD is so debilitating is due to the lack of understanding OCD. Kids are misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.Stereotypes perpetuate shame and guilt.People remain quiet out of fear of embarrassment and labeling.So what could help with this? Knowledge. Spread the knowledge in any way you can. You can check out all the inspiring things the International OCD Foundation is doing this week to bring OCD awareness out from the shadows by clicking here.Help your child.Use this week to celebrate your child. Show them videos and pictures people are posting using the hashtag #FACEYOURFEAR and #OCDWEEK to show them how other people are being brave in support of them.Have a movie night where you make popcorn and watch the documentary Unstuck: an OCD Kids Movie.Educate yourself and others by taking my free online mini-course, Misunderstanding About Childhood OCD.

But, there is a tool in the toolbox that many parents haven’t explored – that’s ACT.

PSP 137: Talking About Drugs with our Anxious Kids with Tiffany Jenkins from Juggling the Jenkins

Tue, 01 Oct 2019 00:25:02 GMT

We many think my sweet, anxious child will never do drugs. In fact, how could she? She’s afraid of her own shadow! I am right there with you. But our young, anxious kids often turn into depressed, overwhelmed teens. The last thing we want is for them to self medicate. That’s why talking about drugs when they are young is so important.There comes a time when our kids think we “don’t get it.” Our kids lean on their peers for support. They think only other 16-year-olds get their pain (as scary as that might sound).We don’t want to wait until our window of opportunity is gone! That is why I am having some hard conversations with my anxious seven and nine-year-old. Their ears are open. They have lots of questions. I am pouring information that they are filing away for a later stage of life. Kids are wide open to talk about drugs at this age, but many of us worry about doing it.This week I invited the hysterical Tiffany Jenkins from Juggling the Jenkins, to the AT Parenting Podcast. She came on my radar after many parents in my audience kept sharing her hysterical videos on Facebook and Youtube. As I dived deeper into her work, I discovered a more serious side to Tiffany. She is a recovering drug addict. She has used her fame and platform to educate others on the dangers of drugs. In her memoir, High Achiever to shares the inner workings of a person struggling to beat an addiction and all the turmoil it brings with it.In the podcast she shares her raw and real truth and with it gives parents a chance to make a difference in their children’s lives. Check out Tiffany’s Youtube channel, her Facebook page, her podcast, Take it or Leave it and her book, High Achiever. I couldn’t stop listening and binge listened to it in a few days (it’s on audible).***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 18:10:04 GMT

It seems like more and more these days we are having to cope with some horrific things. Mass shootings, school shootings, bombings, hate crimes, environmental disasters and devastating weather are things that we and our children have to contend with all too often. How do we talk to kids when something bad happened?It is tricky. Many of us just avoid it altogether. But unfortunately our kids do not live in a bubble.I invited Dawn Huebner to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to dive deeper into this topic. She is one of my absolute favorite authors!

PSP 135: The Difference Between Picky Eating and Extreme Picky Eating

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 04:16:03 GMT

Dealing with extreme picky eating can be a lonely journey. Barely anyone gets it. People will tell you all sorts of things. Some to lift you up and some to tear you down, but neither wind up being helpful.He won’t starve to death You should force him to eat (as if it was just that easy!) If he was my child… (that’s never a good sentence) Aren’t all kids kind of picky? You let her eat just that?! Ugh. I could go on and on. But it brings back too many bad memories.Kids have extreme picky eating for a variety of reasons. They can have sensory issues, fears of choking, mechanical and structural issues, intrusive thoughts around food… the list can go on and on.But often, we all have one common goal between us. We want our kids to eat. We want our kids to be healthy. This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I have invited my friend and go-to picky eating expert, Alisha Grogan, Pediatric OT, to talk to us about the difference between typical picky eating and extreme picky eating.She also has a free workshop series out this week that runs from 9/17/19 to 9/24/19 called The 2-Step Process for Moving Your Child from Picky Eater to Healthy Child. Click here to enroll now before it goes away. She is awesome: www.bit.ly/pickyeatingworkshop19.

PSP 134: Helping Kids Who Have a Fear of Bad Guys

Mon, 09 Sep 2019 19:55:30 GMT

Hands down the number one fear I deal with as a child therapist is the fear of bad guys. It isn’t surprising. I remember being a child myself, sitting in my bed, blanket up to my neck, wondering not if, but when would I be attacked.The fear is often dealt with platitudes like:I’m right here Who is going to hurt you Nothing has ever happened to you Why do you worry so muchIn this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore why those platitudes aren’t helpful and what to do and say instead.To get a free PDF on 15 of some of the Most Common Reasons Why Kids are Scared to Sleep, go to: www.bit.ly/sleepfearsTo learn more about the sleep class go to: www.bit.ly/sleepclass19

PSP 132: What to Do When the Stress of Raising a Child with Anxiety or OCD is too Much

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 01:25:52 GMT

You are done. You can’t take it anymore. When will things get better? How long is this going to last? Will things ever change?Raising a child with anxiety or OCD can be beyond exhausting. You are not alone. Many of us have been there. We know what it is like to want to hit the escape button. We know what it is like to go to bed ridden with your own feelings of anxiety and hopelessness. All the What If’s and catastrophic thinking are hard to shut off. There is hope. When all the light is gone and all you see is darkness, it can be hard to feel hopeful. This week on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I am shining a light into your darkness, to let you know… It will be okay. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.

PSP 130: Why Our Child’s Anxiety, OCD or Behaviors are Worse for Us

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 02:42:18 GMT

“We don’t see it, he’s great for us.” “Nope, we don’t have any issues with her.” “Anxiety? Are you sure?” “OCD? I never see him wash his hands.” (eye roll to that one) “He is a perfect angel when he is with me.”Ugh. These types of comments can make you doubt all that you know and see.Is it me? Am I causing her anxiety? Am I causing this behavior? Do I make his OCD worse?You are not alone. Parents everywhere are having these thoughts. They toss and turn before they go to sleep. They have pangs of doubt, guilt and anger when their child turns into a puddle for them and holds it together for everyone else.So what is going on? Well let’s put the parental guilt and shame down for a minute and look at some alternative perspectives. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk about why many of our kids with anxiety or OCD have the hardest time when they are us. And why it often has nothing to do with the parenting.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Interested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 127: How to Help a Child with Lockdown Drills

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 04:09:22 GMT

The kids are huddled in the corner of the room. It is dark. It is quiet. They are told not to talk. They are told to hide behind objects and lock the classroom door. Some kids are shaking. Some kids have wide eyes. This is not an emergency situation. These are lockdown drills. This can be very unnerving for any child, but for anxious children this has the potential to cause ongoing fear and panic. So what should parents do? Many of us avoid the topic unless our kids bring it up. But with at least 32 states requiring monthly lockdown drills, many of our kids are exposed to these drills over 10 times a school year. These are important drills (sadly), but how do we minimize the ongoing trauma these drills can evoke? I brought in just the person to answer these questions. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode, I talk to Nancy Kislin, a psychotherapist and author of Lock Down: Talking to Your Kids About School Violence. She brought so much insight to this topic and offered some solid, concrete steps anyone can take to help their children.

PSP 126: Child Anxiety from a Father’s Perspective

Mon, 15 Jul 2019 20:30:51 GMT

We all see anxiety differently. We bring our own baggage, or own history and our own issues along for the ride. Often moms and dads see anxiety differently. Sometimes it can be the source of disagreements and hurt feelings. And sometimes it can open our eyes to a new way of looking at things.This week I invited Jason from Dad University to have a chat on the AT Parenting Survival Podcast and talk to me about anxiety from a father’s perspective. We talked about his own struggles with anxiety growing up and how that impacted his own parenting.

PSP 125: Don’t Treat Your Child’s Sensory Related Anxiety the Same as their Other Anxiety Issues

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 20:34:38 GMT

Bumpy socks, lumpy food, loud noises, large crowds, startling automatic toilet flushers…these are just a few things that can completely overwhelm some of our anxious kids. But don’t make the mistake of putting them in the same category with all your child’s other anxiety issues. Sensory related anxiety is different. And… it should be treated differently as well.Anxious kids tend to have more sensory issues. That’s really not surprising. The two issues tend to hang out together like long lost cousins.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast episode I talk about how even though anxiety and sensory issue are two peas in a pod – we shouldn’t make the mistake of treating them the same. ****This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 121: Handling Oppositional Behavior in a Child with OCD or Anxiety

Tue, 04 Jun 2019 00:15:24 GMT

They dig their heels in. They refuse to go. They refuse to eat. They refuse to move. Oppositional behavior in a child with OCD or anxiety can be all consuming. So, what are you supposed to do?Well for starters, treating it as typical oppositional behavior won’t work. Either will typical parenting approaches. When a child with OCD or anxiety is being difficult, their opposition is vastly different than the typical oppositional kid.In this week’s podcast episode, I dive into the oppositional behavior so many of us are dealing with when it comes to parenting kids with OCD or anxiety. *** This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 103: Learning to Play Detective When Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD

Mon, 28 Jan 2019 22:52:16 GMT

Raising a child with anxiety or OCD takes a completely different set of parenting skills. Helping kids work through their issues doesn’t have a begin, middle and end. It is a way of life. A way of looking at life. A big part of staying on top of any progress you have gained is learning how to play detective. When you are raising kids with anxiety or OCD you need to be proactive, not reactive. This doesn’t mean you have to live a life full of fear or worry. But it does mean you don’t want to bury your head in the sand. In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about what I mean by “playing detective” and what that would look like in your home.*** This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

There is nothing worse than watching your child starve to death. It can creep up slowly or happen overnight. Meals are missed. Favorite foods are no longer favored. Plate after plate, meal after meal goes untouched. Perhaps initially you chalk it up to “picky eating” but then you realize it is something much more. Welcome to the world of Avoidant/ Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, also known as ARFID.

Your child is bombarded with “bad thoughts.” They are asking you bizarre questions that are stopping you dead in your tracks. What if I hurt myself? What if I hurt you? What if I set the house on fire? What if I jump in front of a train? What if I left a scratch on your car? They riddle every conversation with apologies and more questions. They are consumed with worry. They don’t want to have these thoughts. They don’t want to hurt themselves or other people. But they can’t make these thoughts stop. These thoughts scare you.

PSP 066: What to Do When Your Child’s Therapy isn’t Progressing

Tue, 08 May 2018 08:19:00 GMT

“How did it go?” You ask your child after yet another therapy session. “Fine.” Your child flatly replies. It’s been months and it is always the same thing. No reaction after therapy. No behavioral changes at home. Is your child’s therapy working? Are there goals? What is going on in there?***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 065: Motivating Kids to Crush Anxiety or OCD When They Have No Fight in Them

Tue, 01 May 2018 08:19:03 GMT

You’ve identified your child’s issue. They have anxiety. Maybe they have OCD. You’ve soaked up every article, book and podcast on the topic. You painstakingly located a therapist to work with your child. Everything is in place – except your child’s motivation. Why doesn’t your child want to work on their issues?

PSP 064: Answering Questions About Medicating Kids for Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 24 Apr 2018 08:19:30 GMT

One of the hardest decisions for a parent is whether or not to medicate a child with anxiety or OCD. For many parents who aren’t raising a child with anxiety or OCD this may be a no brainer. But when your child is paralyzed with fear, unable to eat, unable to go to school, is scrubbing their hands until they bleed – you might have a different perspective on medicating kids with anxiety or OCD. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 062 : How to Help a Child Who Pulls Hair or Picks Skin: Interview with Aneela & Ellen from Habitaware

Tue, 10 Apr 2018 08:19:50 GMT

Your daughter comes home from school and half her eyebrows are gone. You are giving your son a bath and you notice a patch of hair missing from the back of his head. Your teenager picks at her skin until she creates scabs. This behavior can freak parents out! I know – it freaked me out. When scabs started showing up on my daughter’s forehead I didn’t know what to think. Why does she keep getting scabs in that one area? Then one day I saw her little hand digging deep into her skin. My heart sank. “What?”She said staring at me with big eyes. “I like to pick.” She said simply. She is not alone. Many of us have a child who pulls hair or picks skin. And many of us feel desperate to make them stop. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 061 : An Interview with Chris Baier, the Producer of Unstuck: An OCD Kids Movie

Tue, 03 Apr 2018 08:19:10 GMT

I’m embarrassed. I’m weird. I’m crazy. These are statements I hear every week from kids with OCD. Kids who think they are alone. Kids who don’t understand their disorder. Kids who don’t realize that there are kids all over the world, just like them. Chris Baier understands this struggle all too well. When his daughter Vanessa was just nine she changed from a happy-go-lucky child to a child filled with worries and compulsions. Vanessa also felt alone. She felt like no one else understood what she was going through.

PSP 060: Keep Calm & Carry On While Raising Kids with Anxiety and OCD

Sat, 31 Mar 2018 08:19:25 GMT

When I stare at my son spit a mouthful of food out and discretely tuck it under his plate my heart stops. When I spot my youngest daughter picking at her skin until it bleeds my stomach starts to hurt. When my kids stay up late at night because they are fearful they will be killed if they fall sleep my heart sinks. Anxiety and OCD are hard to stomach. It is hard to watch our children struggle and not allow it to be OUR struggle. To not allow it to be our defeat. How can it not be? But if you want to survive this whole business of raising kids with anxiety and OCD, perspective and separation are key. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 059 : Helping Kids with Anxiety by Doing the Opposite of What Feels Right: Interview with Dr. Kaylene Henderson

Tue, 20 Mar 2018 08:19:40 GMT

Much of what we’ve learned about parenting comes from our own childhood. Good, bad or ugly – it is often what we know. We are also surrounded by people who are quick to share all their parenting wins and strategies. So what happens when typical parenting approaches don't work for our anxious kids? Helping kids with anxiety often requires a unique set of parenting approaches that can feel counterintuitive. I had the pleasure of discussing these issues with Dr. Kaylene Henderson, a Child Health Specialist who offers her knowledge and expertise in workshops as well as on her site A Dose of Awesomeness. We talked about parenting approaches that help anxious kids and discussed aligning with our kids to problem-solve. We talked about doing “just enough” to teach our children self-reliance and self-confidence. She discussed how our own childhood impacts our perspective on parenting, and the interesting science behind it. And lastly we talked about the importance of believing in our children's abilities. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 057: The Impact of Technology on Kids with Anxiety and OCD: Interview with Dr. Adam Pletter

Tue, 06 Mar 2018 08:19:07 GMT

Kids with anxiety and OCD often have an intimate connection with technology. It is where they go to distract themselves from their scary thoughts. It is where their obsessive nature takes over. It is the cause of huge meltdowns. It is the platform for google searches and rumination. It is the arena for bullying and low self-esteem. What’s your child’s relationship with technology? Do you know how to harness its power for good? Technology is not the enemy. In fact, it can be a great resource if you know how to use it. Join me for an insightful discussion with Dr. Adam Pletter, a psychologist and national expert in technology. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

Most of us know that Strep can attack our joints. Most of us know that Strep can attack our heart. But did you know that Strep can attack our brain? It hides behind OCD symptoms. It hides behind children who all of a sudden are afraid to eat, afraid to sleep. Who start to wet the bed. Who start to rage. Who start to develop compulsions, tics and struggles they’ve never had before. It hides under the mystery and denial of PANDAS/PANS. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 055: What Helped My OCD: A 12-Year-Old Talks About Her Experience

Mon, 12 Feb 2018 02:29:21 GMT

Having OCD is hard enough, but being a kid or teenager with OCD is even harder. Many children with OCD think they are the only ones suffering with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. They don’t realize that OCD in kids is much more common than they think! They struggle alone and many wonder how on earth they are supposed to beat OCD. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 053: ERP for OCD & Anxiety: What it is and Why it is So Effective

Tue, 06 Feb 2018 08:19:59 GMT

When children are afraid or obsessed with a horrible thought you might think that the best way to help them is to teach them to get their mind “off of it.” Not only is this not effective, it can actually make anxiety and OCD worse. ERP for OCD and anxiety, also known as Exposure and Response Prevention is a counterintuitive therapy that has some parents running in the opposite direction. But let me tell you why this wacky approach not only works, but is the gold standard for treatment. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:19:52 GMT

If you are dealing with Child anxiety or OCD there is one lethal weapon you are up against….doubt. Almost everything related to anxiety and OCD comes down to doubt and uncertainty.

PSP 51: Learning How to Find the Core Fear Behind Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD

Tue, 23 Jan 2018 08:19:19 GMT

Your child is refusing to go to school, but you don’t know why. Your child is up all night in a perpetual state of panic, but nothing seems to calm them down. Your child is tapping things and turning the light switch on and off three times, but you have no idea why. Knowing your child has anxiety or OCD is different from knowing what is behind your child’s anxiety or OCD.***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 050: Explaining OCD to People Who Don’t Get it: Helping Siblings, Family & Friends Understand OCD

Tue, 16 Jan 2018 08:19:31 GMT

Do you know what is almost worse than having a child with OCD? Seeing your child be surrounded by people who just don’t get OCD. Siblings who tease their brother or sister for their “strange” behavior. Partners who tell your child to “just stop!” Relatives who think they are being helpful when they tell you “they’ll grow out of it.” And teachers who don’t understand how your child can have OCD when they just don’t see it. Explaining OCD to people who just don’t get it can be daunting. OCD can be complicated even for parents to understand. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 049: Explaining Anxiety to People Who Don’t Get it: Helping Siblings, Family & Friends

Tue, 09 Jan 2018 08:19:52 GMT

How many times have you heard people say things like,“you just coddle him too much” or “you just need to be tougher with her!” Some other oldies but goodies are, “She doesn’t act that way for me” and “he’ll grow out of it. Don’t worry.” Sometimes explaining anxiety to people who don’t get it can make your head spin. Trust me, I get it. I have bitten my tongue so many times - I have callouses. What about if those people are your other kids? What if you hear things like, "Why do you treat him like that?" or "If that was me I would totally get in trouble!" How can you explain anxiety to your other children so they can "get" their anxious sibling and maybe even help and not hurt the situation? ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 048: Inside the Mind of an Anxious Child: A Six Year Old Talks About What Helps.

Tue, 02 Jan 2018 08:19:24 GMT

On a random sick day, my youngest anxious child loomed in my office as I prepared to record my latest podcast. “What are you doing?” She asked. I told her I’m going to be on the “radio” teaching parents how to help their anxious kids. My six year old’s eyes widen and she said, “Maybe they would like to hear from a kid instead?” I agreed. She pulled up a stool next to me. Her little feed dangling as she spoke in the big microphone. I listened in awe as my daughter talked about her battle with her “worry cloud.” She talked about what helps and what doesn’t. And once again the student was the teacher. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 047: What to Do When Anxiety Causes Our Kids to Have Negative Thoughts

Tue, 19 Dec 2017 08:19:57 GMT

“I had the worst day ever!” My child screams. Thirty minutes ago everything was going well. He had a good day at school and he was excited to go play. While doing homework he shouts “I’m the dumbest kid ever!” Who is this kid and where did my child go? This is a kid who gets straight As. So what is going on? Anxiety. Anxiety doesn’t always look like anxiety. Sometimes it looks like aggression. Sometimes it looks like opposition. And sometimes…it makes a child very negative. So how do you help a child who oozes negative thoughts? You can try with some of these approaches… ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

Do you like coffee? I do too. But not every cup of coffee is the same. Starbucks coffee is generally too strong. Dunkin Donuts coffee is liquid heaven. Therapy is the same way. Therapists are like coffee beans…there are a zillion types and not all of them are going to be good.

PSP 045: OCD and Anxiety in School: The Most Misunderstood Students

Tue, 05 Dec 2017 08:20:35 GMT

Sarah sits at the back of the room. Her face has gone pale. Her hands are getting clammy. The teacher hands out the test. She feels nauseous, confused. The room starts to spin. She runs out of the room. The teacher stares at the empty seat. What just happened? OCD and Anxiety in school are often an unnoticed or mislabeled issue. They are the quiet kids who are afraid to raise their hands. The aggressive kids who are feeling cornered and trapped. The perfectionist kids who never hand in work because it’s not perfect. They are the kids that don’t participate, are frequently absent and know the nurse by her first name.***

Your child is erasing and rewriting their homework…again. She is asking you over and over again if her answers sound right. She checks and rechecks that you understand what she is trying to tell you. Is she a perfectionist? Or could it be something more? Your son tightens one shoe and then the other. “No!” He shouts. The left one is not as tight as the right. He unties the shoes and begins again. Tying and tying. Over and over again. Does he have Sensory Processing Disorder or could it be something different? Just Right OCD is often missed. It can look like so many other issues. So what is Just Right OCD and how do you help kids who have it?

PSP 043: Do You Blame Yourself for Your Child’s Anxiety and OCD? Why That’s not Good for You or Your Child.

Tue, 21 Nov 2017 08:19:57 GMT

For some reason as parents we tend to feel this unrealistic weight and responsibility for everything that happens to our children. They got sick? What did we do to not keep them healthy? They got in a fight? Why didn’t we teach them how to solve their problems better? They are struggling in school? Why didn’t we enroll them in pre-school when they were in utero? So, I guess it makes sense that when our kids get anxiety and OCD we throw ourselves under the bus for that as well. Sadly though, all this self-depreciation not only makes us less effective as a parent, but it hurts our kids with anxiety and OCD as well. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 042: How to Help Kids with Intrusive Thoughts

Tue, 14 Nov 2017 08:19:55 GMT

Anxiety is not always visible. It is not always obvious. Sometimes it is silently attacking your child from the inside out. It makes itself cozy in a child’s mind that is already filled with doubt and insecurity. Intrusive thoughts are confusing to kids. They are scary to kids. Heck, they are scary for parents.

PSP 040: How to Deal with a Partner Who Doesn’t Believe in Anxiety Disorders?

Tue, 31 Oct 2017 08:19:35 GMT

Your child is standing there, white-knuckled and pale as a ghost. “I can’t do it,” they whisper. “I’m scared.” You are about to offer words of encouragement when your partner chimes in. “Stop playing games and just do it!” You feel your stomach drop. You give your partner the death glare, but it has little effect as the tirade continues. “I’m tired of this! Just do it or you are grounded.” You stare at your child, wide-eyed and paralyzed with fear. You have two problems. A child with debilitating anxiety and a partner who doesn’t believe in anxiety disorders. What are you supposed to do with that?! ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

PSP 039: How to Help Anxious Kids with Big Life Changes

Tue, 24 Oct 2017 08:19:36 GMT

There were three words that would stop me dead in my tracks as a kid – We. Are. Moving. I didn’t handle change well and unfortunately my parents didn’t handle stability well. It was a bad combination for an anxious kid like me. I also felt silently overwhelmed when our family dog died, when I changed schools, when my parents got divorced and all the life that happened in between. So, how should parents help anxious kids deal with such big life changes? I can tell you what I tell parents in my therapy practice and privately what I wish my own parents would have done as well. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

It is past midnight. Your child is still refusing to go to sleep. “What are you scared of?” You ask impatiently. Your child just shrugs. “I don’t know.” You child refuses to go to school. “Why don’t you like going to school?” You ask for the hundredth time. Your child stares at you blankly. You know your child is feeling anxious, but you don’t have any clue as to why.Unfortunately, it is hard to beat anxiety when you don’t know exactly what you are trying to beat.

PSP 036: Helping Anxious Kids When Shootings & Other Tragedies Happen

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 21:10:42 GMT

I wake up and reach for my phone. Breaking news headlines scream for my attention. Not again, I think. How many tragedies do we need to witness? How many mass shootings and bombings do my children need to live through? It doesn’t help that I have three anxious kids. Anxiety feeds off these headlines. Thrives off these dark moments of time. It has the power to ruin any progress a child has made crushing their anxiety. So how do we handle the situation? Do we tell our anxious kids what has happened? How do we minimize the impact it has on their already fragile view of life’s dangers? We can’t ignore these life events, but we can frame it in a way that minimizes the long-term impact.

PSP #34: Learn How to Empower Your Anxious Kids to Fight Anxiety

Tue, 19 Sep 2017 08:19:14 GMT

Anxiety likes victims. It likes followers. Anxiety likes to bully, dictate and control every thought, action and decision. Anxiety… completely sucks. So how do you help your child who is genetically doomed to live life in the shadows of anxiety? How do you teach them that there are other options - that being a victim isn’t the only choice. How do you empower your child to fight anxiety? As parents, we have a big role in empowering our children to fight anxiety. We can inadvertently teach them how to be anxiety’s victim or how to be anxiety’s slayer. I opt for the latter.

Your son peeks his head out the window. His face pales. “Mom, is it supposed to rain today?” You look out the window. You see only one lonely cloud in the sky. “I don’t think so.” You respond. But you realize too late that your answer only fueled his concern. “You’re not sure?” He whines. You take a deep breath and prepare for the unraveling to begin. He does not disappoint. You know lots of kids are afraid of storms, but your child takes his fear to another level. ***This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Visit my website at www.ATparentingSurvival.comInterested in my AT Parenting Community Membership?

“Mom I need to talk to you,” you hear your son whisper again. “I’m having bad thoughts.” You know where this is headed. This is the tenth time today he’s pulled you aside to talk. “Two years ago, I think I did something bad,” he confesses. His voice trails off as your mind starts to wonder. What is going on? Why does my son have to confess every thought, behavior and memory he thinks is bad? Why don’t my reassurances make him feel better?
