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.
