OCD Compulsions Parents Don’t See
In this episode, child therapist Natasha Daniels explains that many OCD compulsions in children are hidden or subtle, such as mental rituals, reassurance‑seeking, and neutralizing thoughts, which parents often overlook. She outlines the two‑part OCD loop—intrusive thoughts or feelings followed by a compulsive response—and emphasizes that identifying these covert compulsions is crucial for effective exposure‑response prevention (ERP) therapy. Daniels warns against trying to police a child's behavior, advocating instead for parents to become educated coaches who help their kids develop self‑control skills. The episode also provides concrete examples of miscompulsions, from mental checking to compulsive reassurance, to help families recognize the full scope of their child's OCD.
