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

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) 🌸 Youtube channel 🌸 Support Groups IOCDF AT Parenting Community (support group meetings included in membership) 🌸 Classes Crush OCD for Kids & Teens Waitlist of Crush OCD Course for Kids & Teens ❤️ Learn more about the AT Parenting Community membership here. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.
