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

    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. 🌸 Want to supercharge your child, teen or young adult’s OCD skills?

    PSP 407: Helping Kids with OCD and Magical Thinking

    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

    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

    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. 🛟 Want in-depth ongoing support?

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

    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! ⚓️ Want some free in-depth support on this topic?

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

    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. 🌸 Learn how to be an effective anchor for your child with anxiety or OCD.

    PSP 401: Are We Inadvertently Contributing to Our Child’s Helplessness?

    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. 💪 Want more support?
