When you’re raising a child with anxiety or OCD, it’s easy to feel like you’re absorbing all of their fear, stress, and urgency. Their nervous system is on high alert—and suddenly, so is yours. In this episode, we explore why anxiety and OCD can feel contagious in families, and how to stay grounded in the middle of your child’s emotional storm.

You’ll learn:

Why your regulation matters more than your “fixing”
Common triggers for parents (and what to do about them)
Practical tools to help you stay centered when everything feels intense

This is not about perfection—it’s about presence.

Listen now and start becoming the steady anchor your child needs.
