@childocdtherapist: Contamination OCD isn’t always about germs. Sometimes a thought, memory, word, person, or experience can make something suddenly feel ruined, tainted, or “wrong” even though nothing physically changed. That can be incredibly confusing for parents because the reaction often doesn’t make logical sense from the outside. But to the person with OCD, the contamination can feel very real, and avoiding, replacing, throwing away, or mentally undoing things can become the way they try to get relief. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about mental contamination OCD, what it can look like, and how parents can respond in a way that doesn’t accidentally strengthen it. 🎧 Listen here: natashadaniels.com/psp484 #ocd #ocdproblems #ocdrecovery #ocdawareness #childocd

What I do that helps with my ocd is basically manipulating the thoughts and turning it into a better outcome
