Sadly, many people get misdiagnosed because people are searching up, down and all around for a fear. But OCD doesn’t have to be an intrusive thought, it can also be an intrusive feeling.\n\n\nMany people with OCD will have an overwhelming feeling of disgust or grossness. This feeling causes so much discomfort that they will do everything in their power to avoid it. That is why they often develop compulsions and extreme avoidance. \n\n\nIn this week’s episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how disgust and grossness play a role in OCD.\n\n\nTo join my FREE 3-Part Video Series: Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD go to http://bit.ly/survivaltoolsforparents\n \n***\n\n\nThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.\n\n\nLet me become your $5 mini-coach.
