Contamination OCD can be easy to spot, but often, it runs much deeper than what you are observing.

In this episode, I break down the common mistakes parents make when trying to support a child with contamination OCD, such as:

  • Assuming it’s always about germs or illness
  • Focusing only on visible rituals instead of the underlying fear
  • Overlooking how contamination spreads from “ground zero” to more and more things
  • Missing the importance of tailoring exposures to the specific fear or feeling

Most importantly, I’ll share how to uncover the true root fear and ground zero behind OCD contamination, and why that shift changes how exposures are designed and carried out.

Resources mentioned during episode:

New Book: Chloe & The Bossy Cloud

Core Fear Series on Youtube

Core Fear Workshop

Contamination OCD videos for kids and teens
