When our kids start struggling with OCD it is normal to want to get them into therapy as soon as possible, especially Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the first line treatment for OCD.
But going into therapy when a child isn’t ready can be a costly mistake and can sabotage the success of future therapy sessions.
In this episode I outline four key components needed to make therapy a success. Often therapy is a middle step, not the first step.
Want to know exactly where YOU should start? In my free series, Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with OCD, I teach you how to assess your particular situation and learn where to focus your energy to get the most long term success.
