Parents often rely on their usual parenting strategies to help their child with OCD — but those same strategies can actually backfire.
In this episode, I break down the most common approaches parents try and explain why they don’t work when it comes to OCD.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, repeating the same things without progress, this episode will help you understand why and what to do differently.
