OCD can convince our kids that they have control over the uncontrollable. That is at the heart of magical thinking OCD compulsions. Magical thinking is when OCD convinces a person that if they do or don’t do something - they can prevent something from happening.

That something could be literally anything related to their theme. They might be preventing themselves from throwing up. They might be saving your life. They might be preventing a health issue. It is different for each person, but the compulsion is the same - do this (or don’t do this) or ELSE.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’m exploring how magical thinking shows up in OCD and how you can help your kids overcome it.
