The 7 Parenting Traps That Quietly Keep OCD in Charge

As parents, we naturally want to comfort, protect, and help our children. But when OCD enters the picture, some of our most loving instincts can unintentionally keep the OCD cycle going.

In this episode, I walk through seven common parenting traps that quietly strengthen OCD, not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because OCD is incredibly good at recruiting parents into its game.

These are subtle shifts, but they can dramatically change how you respond to OCD, and how your child learns to respond to it too.
