Having a sticky mind is common for many children (and adults!). In this podcast episode, Jamie Lynn and Gwen Tatera have an honest conversation about childhood OCD and explore helpful questions for parents. How can adults spot symptoms of childhood OCD? How can caregivers respond effectively when a child has a sticky mind? What tools and resources are available to help kids and grown-ups practice resilience and gain freedom from obsessive thoughts and urges?
Gwen Tatera is an educator and author of the children’s book, The OCD Beaver, which is available on Amazon.
A note from Jamie Lynn: This episode is special to me because Gwen Tatera is my mother. As a child, I was acutely aware of the effects that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) had on my mom and on our entire family. My mom’s courage to talk about her journey and recovery from OCD feels like a healing balm.
