Ep. 57: How to help a Family Member with OCD & Anxiety

What can I do to help a family member who is struggling with OCD & Anxiety?

This is a question I am faced with at least a dozen times per week. Often from a person who is in a great deal of pain because someone they care about deeply is struggling with their mental health.

Friends, it is so important to remember that your family and loved ones are often your greater resource on your journey to recovery. And in so many cases these resources are overlooked and often underutilized simply because they don’t know how to help you. And how could they? They have never been taught.

That is why in today’s episode, we are going to focus on friends and family members of people who struggle with OCD & Anxiety and introduce some specific strategies they can use to support people they care about.

And if you are the person who is struggling, please send this to someone close to you so they know how to better support you. Remember, with the RIGHT TOOLS and PROPER SUPPORT, you can break out of the loop and start taking back control of their life.

Enjoy!
