Intrusive thoughts about hurting oneself or someone else can feel shocking, confusing, and deeply distressing for both kids and parents. These thoughts often clash with a child’s true values, which is exactly why they feel so intense.</p><p>In this episode, we gently unpack what harm OCD really is and what it is not. We talk about the difference between intrusive thoughts and intent, and why fear can so easily be mistaken for danger. When parents understand the OCD cycle and how it attaches to what matters most, they are better equipped to respond with clarity instead of panic.</p><p>If you are a parent who has ever felt your heart drop after hearing your child share a scary thought, or if your child has ever been terrified of their own mind, this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources Discussed in Episode:</strong></p><p><strong>-</strong><a href=\"http://www.natashadaniels.com/handouts\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Handout of this episode</a></p><p><br></p><p>-Videos on Harm OCD:</p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/qQgTkIfUFDM?si=0c9wIFghIctn4BCT\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/qQgTkIfUFDM?si=0c9wIFghIctn4BCT</a></p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/XR0anBw_NIY?si=ggHSaxbhkdlkvOjF\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/XR0anBw_NIY?si=ggHSaxbhkdlkvOjF</a></p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/hPOJW3iXRwU?si=lFAcTY7qMX7DMiXh\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/hPOJW3iXRwU?si=lFAcTY7qMX7DMiXh</a></p><p><br></p><p>-<a href=\"http://www.natashadaniels.com/space\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">SPACE Study Course</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>***</p><p>This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.
