PSP 335: Creating Natural Exposures to Crush Anxiety and OCD

2023/10/10

AT Parenting Survival Podcast: Parenting | Child Anxiety | Child OCD | Kids & Family

Shownotes Transcript

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.
