Why Is Managing OCD So Hard?

If your child has OCD, you might wonder, "My child is exhausted from responding to all the demands his 'OCD Monster' makes. He wants to get back in the driver's seat of his life.  He knows what to do to manage OCD. Why isn't he doing it?"

There are good reasons. Here are the top three you will learn about in this episode:

1. Your child's biology.
2. Limits of medical science that make it difficult to get a diagnosis of OCD and then find the right treatment.
3. Beliefs that transformation should be fast, easy and relatively free from discomfort.

Managing OCD is HARD WORK.  The evidence-based treatment proven to work is ERP.  To learn more, I invite you to visit NOCD.

Do you like the idea of creating a family culture in which members do hard things?  You're invited to be a Founding Member our "Do Hard Things and Get Results" Community.

The goal of this community is to help you evolve into the best version of yourself--no matter what.  We want to help you:

2.  Have a community who holds you accountable.
3.  Celebrate wins and overcome hurdles.
