When our child is in distress, it’s natural to want to jump in and fix things. But with OCD, that urge to solve, control, or protect can actually get in the way of long-term growth.

In this episode, I talk about one of the most powerful mindset shifts we can make as parents of kids with OCD: moving from “fixer” to “anchor.” You’ll learn how to step out of the cycle of urgency and step into a role that’s calmer, steadier, and more supportive—not just for your child, but for your own well-being too.

We’ll explore:

• Why trying to fix OCD backfires
• 
  
• What it really means to be an anchor
• 
  
• How this shift empowers your child’s progress
• 
  
• The internal script that helps you let go: “This is their journey. I’m just the support.”
• 
  

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or like you’re carrying too much—this episode is for you.
