The Do’s and Don’ts of Pulling Back OCD Accommodations

When your child struggles with OCD, it’s natural to want to ease their distress, but those well-meaning “helping” moments can actually feed OCD’s control. In this episode, Natasha breaks down how to pull back accommodations safely and effectively, without creating unnecessary conflict or fear. You’ll learn: What OCD accommodations really are and how they sneak into daily routines Why reducing them helps your child gain long-term confidence How to involve your child in the process What to do (and not do) when emotions run high How to stay consistent and supportive as your child builds resilience Pulling back OCD accommodations isn’t about being tough — it’s about helping your child take their power back from OCD, one small step at a time.
