Intrusive Thoughts Unmasked
OCD: A Family Matter - Being A Parent of Someone with OCD
Episode 27 OCD not only impacts the individual living with symptoms, but loved ones feel the pain, the suffering, and often the helplessness of not being able to stop it or relieve it! There can be guilt. There can be stress and fear. There can be frustration. And there can be hope, strength, and love. We often overlook the experience of the parent of someone with OCD or the loved one. And they often overlook their own mental health and coping skills. It can sometimes be put on the back burner. Today - three stories of parents and their lived experience of what it was like to discover symptoms, navigate the often scary task of finding help, and how they take care of themselves while showing up for their kids.
