When you’re trying to support a child with OCD, communication is everything. But sometimes, even with the best intentions, we accidentally shut it down.

In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I’ll walk you through four common OCD communication stoppers—like punishing, over-rationalizing, or jumping straight into coaching—and explain why they backfire.

Learn how to foster open, supportive conversations about your child’s OCD that actually help your child feel heard and empowered.
