PSP 255 How to Handle New OCD Themes

PSP 255 How to Handle New OCD Themes

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.
