@childocdtherapist: OCD doesn’t always show up looking the same. Sometimes it’s contamination. Sometimes it’s checking. Sometimes it’s intrusive thoughts. And sometimes it convinces a child they somehow caused something bad to happen, even when there’s no logical connection. One of the reasons OCD can go unnoticed for so long is because it changes disguises. A child may conquer one OCD theme, only to have another one quietly take its place. If we only recognize the themes we’ve seen before, we can mistake a new theme for a new problem instead of seeing it for what it is: the same OCD wearing a different costume. The more familiar you become with the many ways OCD can show up, the easier it becomes to spot it before it pulls your child into another cycle.
