  In this episode, we are going to be speaking with Natasha Daniels, a therapist who specializes in anxiety and OCD and has an incredible online platform to support parents who have children struggling with anxiety disorders. This episode dives into the various forms of OCD, one of the top treatments for OCD "ERP, exposure or response prevention therapy, and how parents can sometimes inadvertently exacerbate their child's OCD symptoms through something called "parental accommodations." Accommodations are common for parents of anxious children to implement to alleviate their child's anxiety. In fact, they increase the intensity of anxiety and the avoidance response.

OCD with Natasha Daniels, Episode #81

 In this touching podcast Christina Rasmussen, author and grief specialist, beautfully reframes how adversity in our childhood creates a form of "grief" that we carry into our parenting experiences. This grief can lead parents to stifling their children's self-expression and ultimately to disconnection from their children and themselves. Christina has a unique way of looking at parental triggers and how to work with them from a place of self-compassion.  Christina Rasmussen is an acclaimed grief educator and bestselling author of Second Firsts (2013), Where Did You Go? (2018), and Invisible Loss (2024). In 2010, four years after her thirty-five-year-old spouse passed away from Stage 4 colon cancer, she created the Life Reentry process, which launched her on a mission to bring compassion, grace, and validation to thousands while simultaneously establishing an exit from what she termed the Waiting Room.
