Does your child get overwhelmed by certain motions, like a foot tapping or knee bouncing? Those are common struggles people with Misophonia and Misokinesia experience.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about the interconnected relationship between Misophonia, Misokinesia and OCD. Click here to listen:***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

PSP 342: A Sisters Journey Through OCD to a Life of Purpose
Emily and Lindsay both struggled with OCD as kids. Even though they were sisters, OCD showed up in very different ways for each of them. It wasn’t until Emily was in college that she realized that her anxiety was really OCD in disguise. Lindsay was able to support her sister and get her connected to the help she needed. When the sisters found themselves back at home during COVID, a desire to help themselves quickly turned into an idea to help others as well. Emily wanted something to anchor herself. She wanted a bracelet to remind her of the skills she was using in therapy.With the idea that others would want this too, the sisters launched a company called Presently, offering jewelry with a deeper message. Check out their store, Presently.🌸 Join me for a live Zoom Workshop:  Learn How to Discover Your Child’s Core Fears Around Anxiety and/or OCD.

PSP 341: Helping Kids with Disgust OCD themes
There are a few OCD themes that can look very different than the rest. Just right OCD and Disgust OCD themes are two of them.Parents and therapists might struggle to find the “core fear” around these themes. That is because disgust and just right themes have to do with a fear of overwhelm around a feeling.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how disgust OCD themes can show up and some alternative views being shared about how to treat disgust OCD differently than other themes.Read Richard Gallagher’s article on disgust OCD in this IOCDF article.🌸 Join me for a live Zoom Workshop:  Learn How to Discover Your Child’s Core Fears Around Anxiety and/or OCD.

PSP 340: The Balance Between Rescuing and Empowering Our Kids
Most of us want to raise healthy, resilient, empowered adults, but how do we get there? Our kids don’t magically turn independent and empowered once they pass the threshold of adulthood.The magic is in finding the sweet spot between rescuing and empowering our kids on  a daily basis. Even if we hit that sweet spot half the time, we’ll be building those skills to help our kids feel empowered.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the continuum of rescuing to tough love parenting. I discuss how to move from doing it for our kids, to coaching, to sitting on the sidelines cheerleading. 🌸 Want more in-depth support? Sign up and join the AT Parenting Community!

PSP 339: Understanding the Relationship of PANDAS/PANS and OCD
No one knows for certain what causes OCD. We know what areas of the brain are implicated in OCD, but the rest seems up for discussion. We need more research to understand this disorder.Some kids have OCD symptoms due to an umbrella of issues under PANDAS/PANS. Research is showing that inflammation in the brain can impact mental health and cause neuropsychiatric symptoms, including OCD. Many kids have autoimmune issues, infections such as strep or have had environmental exposure to things like mold or Lyme that can cause an inflammatory response. In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I invited Jessica Gavin, a PANDAS/PANS advocate and mom to three kids with PANDAS/PANS, to explore the world of PANDAS/PANS with me.To learn more about the PACE IVIG study and see if you qualify go to the PACE  Foundation website.🌸 Sign up for my FREE series Survival Tools for Parents Raising Kids with Anxiety or OCD running from Nov 2nd-12th, 2023 at www.ATparentingsurvivalseries.com.***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

PSP 335: Creating Natural Exposures to Crush Anxiety and OCD
Ultimately we want our kids to live a life where they walk towards their anxiety or OCD fears and discomfort. The more they build those anxiety and OCD skills, the more resilient they will become.Natural exposures can help on two fronts. If your child is not ready to commit to formal ERP (Exposure Response Prevention), the main approach in OCD treatment, doing natural exposures can be a great first step.Second, we want our kids to develop an organic, authentic way of dealing with anxiety or OCD. When they learn how to create natural exposures when faced with triggers, they learn how to live their life while keeping anxiety or OCD at bay.In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore how natural exposures can help and how to get them started.Want more in-depth support on how to help your child with anxiety or OCD?
