OCD is a hijacker. It grabs onto fear, love, and protection — and twists them. Dr. Eli Lebowitz breaks this down in a way every parent and person with OCD needs to hear. 🎧 Full episode of The OCD Confessional is out now. #ocd #parentingocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #intrusivethoughts

Did you know #accommodating your child's #anxiety can actually make it worse? Dr. Eli Lebowitz from @spacetreatments shares a 3-step plan to help your child build #resilience by gradually reducing accommodations. Step 1: Identify an accommodation to stop. "I'm no longer ordering for you at restaurants." Step 2: Prepare your child in advance. "Hey sam, I know this might be tough, but I believe in you. From now on, you'll be ordering for yourself." Step 3: Let them navigate the process. It might be tough at first, but with time, they'll learn to overcome their anxiety and develop confidence in their abilities.

In this episode, 194 of Your Child is Normal, I talk with Dr. Eli Lebowitz, the author of breaking free of childhood anxiety and OCD, and the clinical psychologist behind the SPACE program (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), about how parents can help reduce their child’s anxiety—not by changing their kids, but by changing their own responses. Dr. Eli Liebowitz is a true gift in the space (no pun intended!) of childhood anxiety—his research and effective tools have made a tremendous impact! He does not have social media, but I highly recommend checking out his book if you were looking to help your child who is struggling with anxiety. . . . .#yourchildisnormal #space #anxiety #anxiouschildren #anxiouskids #accomodation #pediatrician #ocd

Every time you rescue your child from the thing that scares them —⁠ you're teaching them they can't handle it.⁠ ⁠ That's not an opinion.⁠ ⁠ That's what the research from Yale School of Medicine shows.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Eli Lebowitz calls it accommodation —⁠ any way parents alter their behaviour to avoid triggering anxiety in their child.⁠ ⁠ Letting them skip the race.⁠ Texting the coach before training.⁠ Taking them out of the team that felt too hard.⁠ ⁠ All well-meaning.⁠ All making it worse.⁠ ⁠ Because anxiety is a prediction.⁠ ⁠ And every time you accommodate it,⁠ you validate the prediction.⁠ ⁠ The alternative isn't toughening them up.⁠ It's standing beside them while they face the thing.⁠ ⁠ 'I know this is hard. And you can do it anyway.'⁠ ⁠ Comment STRUGGLE below and I'll send you the 5 Struggle Moments —⁠ the framework for what to say when your child falls apart.⁠

It was created by Dr. Eli Lebowitz, an anxiety expert at the Yale Child Study Center, and is a full parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD and related challenges.  I'm so proud to be trained in this incredibly powerful program. It literally changes the way you and your child see and feel about anxiety, and is proven by multiple studies to help children become less anxious, while improving family relationships.  I offer this virtually 1:1 or in small groups, and I have just 2 spots left for groups starting in September. Get in touch so we can chat about if this is right for you, your child, and your family.  #anxiety #overcominganxiety #childhoodanxiety #separationanxiety #selectivemutism #socialanxiety #ocdinkids #parentssupportingparents #parentinganxiouschildren #anxiouschild #howtohelpanxiouskids #spaceanxietytreatment #anxiouschildparenting #fearfulchildren #mumssupportingmums #raisingawareness #comeandfindout #guildford #surrey #surreymums #schoolavoidance #ebsa #ebsna #fearofvomiting #emetophobia #phobias

Book highlights of Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD by Dr. Eli Lebowitz.⁣ ⁣ As a psychotherapist, this is currently the book I recommend the most!⁣ ⁣ And so many parents tell me they realistically don’t have time to read it.⁣ ⁣ I’m going to do a multi-part series highlighting important concepts of the book that you’ll be able to apply immediately in your life. ⁣ ⁣ This book provides a summary of a parenting program that parents can use to help their child struggling with anxiety or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). ⁣ ⁣ Here are the main takeaways from this video:⁣ ⁣ 🪛 Anxiety is an important and helpful tool. (Of course anxiety disorders can become very problematic, but the goal is not to get rid of anxiety. Anxiety is not bad.)⁣ ⁣ 🚨 Anxiety refers to the activation of the body’s stress response system, warning us of danger or threats (or the potential of danger or threats).⁣ ⁣ 💭 The EXACT SAME process within our stress response system is activated, regardless of whether the threat is right before us or imagined. Read that one again.
