When Helping Hurts: Navigating Burnout in OCD Parenting

When you’re parenting a child with OCD, burnout can sneak in quietly—and then hit hard. You’re doing all the things: managing compulsions, pulling back OCD accommodations, showing up for exposures, and trying to keep everything afloat. But what happens when your own emotional gas tank is empty? In this episode, I’m talking about what burnout really looks like in OCD parenting, why it’s so common, and how to start refilling your cup without guilt. Because helping your child shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process.
