| 6/23/26 | ![]() When OCD Recovery Feels Worse Before It Feels Better | Starting treatment for OCD can be one of the most hopeful steps a family takes, but it can also be one of the most confusing. Many parents expect that once their child begins therapy, exposures, or a new approach at home, things should immediately improve. Instead, they are often surprised when anxiety spikes, meltdowns increase, or OCD seems louder than ever.In this episode, I explore why OCD recovery can initially feel worse before it feels better. OCD thrives on avoidance, distraction, reassurance, and other coping strategies that provide short term relief. When children begin treatment, they often stop relying on those unhealthy coping mechanisms and start facing their fears directly. While this is an important part of recovery, it can temporarily make anxiety and distress feel more intense.I explain how OCD is not a passive disorder. It actively fights back when challenged. It may convince children that therapy is making them worse, tell them not to talk about their fears, flood them with more intrusive thoughts, or create intense distress during ERP and other evidence based approaches. Parents using strategies like SPACE may also notice an increase in emotional reactions as OCD loses its grip.Parents will learn why these early bumps in the road are often a normal part of the recovery process and how to prepare for them. I share practical ways to set expectations, build coping skills, develop a plan for tolerating distress, communicate effectively with therapists, and support children without pushing them too far too fast.If you have ever wondered whether treatment is working because things seem harder than before, this episode will help you understand what may really be happening and how to stay the course with confidence.Resources Mentioned in Episode:Free Anchor Series for parentsClick here to get your PDF Handout for this episodeYouTube video on how OCD sabotages therapyYouTube video on how OCD shuts down communicationMy BooksMy Kids and Teen OCD Course***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() Common OCD Themes Even Therapists Sometimes Miss | Many OCD themes are frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or completely overlooked because they don’t match the stereotypes most people associate with OCD. In this episode, I dive into the OCD themes that often fly under the radar, including Moral OCD, Harm OCD, POCD, SOCD, ROCD, disgust based OCD, symmetry OCD, and Just Right OCD.I talk about how these themes can present in children and teens, why they are often mistaken for anxiety, behavioral issues, personality traits, or even hidden desires, and how shame and mental compulsions can keep kids struggling silently for years.You’ll also learn why OCD is not always driven by fear. Some themes are fueled by disgust, discomfort, uncertainty, or an overwhelming feeling that something is “off” or incomplete. I break down how OCD can lead to reassurance seeking, confession, avoidance, mental reviewing, and hidden rituals that many parents and even therapists may miss.I also discuss what parents can do if they suspect OCD is being overlooked, including how to educate themselves on OCD themes, help their child understand what OCD is doing, trust their gut, and seek out proper OCD specific support and ERP therapy.If your child has ever struggled with intrusive thoughts, shame around certain thoughts or feelings, hidden compulsions, or behaviors that never fully made sense through a traditional anxiety lens, this episode will help you better understand what may really be happening beneath the surface.Resources Discussed in Episode:Join our FREE series: How to Be an Effective Anchor for Your Kids with OCDGet your PDF handout of today’s episode here.OCD Therapy through NOCDOCD Therapist DirectoryKids and Teen Course on OCDFREE Therapist Workshop on OCDCrushing OCD Workbook for KidsChloe and The Bossy Cloud OCD Picture BookBTTI OCD TrainingTexas OCD Institute***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

| 2/17/26 | ![]() When Progress Makes OCD Panic: Why Symptoms Spike Right Before They Get Better | 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.Video: OCD is Like an Octopus⚠️ Grab any courses you have wanted before our pricing goes up on March 1, 2026 at AT Parenting Survival School***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

| 2/10/26 | ![]() Why Rationalizing With Your Child’s OCD Makes It Worse | 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.Video on What is OCDOCD Card Deck***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

| 1/27/26 | ![]() How to Find the Right Help for Your Child with OCD | 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.If you are new to this OCD journey, take my free OCD webinar, 5 Things Every Parent Needs to Know When Helping Their Child with OCD.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

| 1/20/26 | ![]() Do You Have Enough Support Helping Your Child with OCD? | 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 OCDLive classes, on-demand courses and support group calls for parents, kids and teensHelpful resources and ongoing educationA place to private message me and other parents questionsA safe, understanding environment where you don’t have to explain or justify what you’re going throughIf 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.

| 1/13/26 | ![]() What Progress Actually Looks Like for Kids with Anxiety or OCD | 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.

| 1/6/26 | ![]() The Hidden Cost of Parenting Your Child’s Anxiety or OCD from Fear | 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.Learn how to be a solid anchor for your child in my free series.
