Are you trying everything to help your child’s OCD… yet nothing seems to stick?

You’re not alone—and it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 7 most common mistakes parents make when trying to help OCD, and more importantly, what to do instead. These mistakes are incredibly common, even among well-meaning therapists, and understanding them is the first step to real progress.

We’ll talk about:

Why logic and reassurance often make OCD stronger
How accommodations quietly feed OCD’s power
Why ERP isn’t just “facing fears”
And the role parents must play in their child’s OCD journey

If your child has OCD, this episode will help you stop spinning your wheels and start using tools that actually work.
