@childocdtherapist: Sometimes the hardest part of OCD isn’t what someone is thinking, it’s feeling like they can’t tell anyone. Many people with OCD stay silent because OCD convinces them that saying the thought out loud will make it happen, that others will think they’re “crazy,” or that asking for help means they’ll be forced into situations they aren’t ready for. From the outside, it can look like they’re shutting you out. But underneath the silence is often fear, shame, and a desperate wish for someone to understand without making things worse. If your child has a hard time talking about their OCD, don’t assume they don’t want help. Often, they just don’t know how to let you in. If you’d like to learn how to create conversations that build trust and help your child feel safe opening up, listen to my podcast episode What Good Communication Actually Looks Like with Anxiety and OCD.
