Moral OCD: Mistakes Parents Often Make (and How to Avoid Them)
Manage episode 505329228 series 2956657
Moral OCD can be tricky for parents to recognize because it often looks like strong values, deep guilt, or honest confessions.
In this episode, I break down the most common pitfalls parents fall into when trying to support their child with Moral OCD like:
- Mistaking OCD-driven fears for good morals
- Treating compulsive “confessions” as real
- Worrying that if you don’t respond, your child will bottle everything up.
- Confusion around if it is OCD or your child’s religious or personal beliefs and preferences.
Most importantly, I’ll share practical ways to shift your responses: how to separate OCD from true values, recognize when you’re debating with OCD instead of your child, respond in a consistent way to “confessions,” and support healthy communication without fueling compulsions.
You’ll walk away with concrete strategies to reduce accommodation while still staying connected and compassionate.
