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

    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. 🌸 Last chance to register for the FREE series: Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

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

    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! 🌸 Click here to  get the book When a Loved One Won’t Seek Mental Health Treatment. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

    PSP: 390: Helping Kids Who Give Up Easily

    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

    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. *** This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

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

    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

    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.
