  • Grateful for the variety of resources

    I recently joined the online member community after participating in the free Anchor series workshop. I’m halfway through the Crushing OCD for Parents workshop and learning so much. Though I cannot always be present for the weekly Friday classes, the fact that I can catch them afterword (and even “read” them when my kids are around and not wanting to listen along!) is SO helpful! The podcasts are great to listen and learn in the car when away from WiFi. It’s really amazing the way Natasha has go... more

  • One podcast helped more than hours of therapy.

    Thank you. From a mom of an always anxious child who’s anxiety suddenly changed into something else in the last couple of years. We were in a program for anxious children but didn’t really match or feel seen by the other children and therapists. Your podcast on emetophobia completely blew my mind and I cried through the whole episode, finally understanding my daughter. We are now in the right treatment.

    All the free info and print out sheets have also helped us understand that we can’t rationali... more

  • Thank you!

    I’ve been listening a few months. One of my children started treating their sibling as a source of contamination, and I had no idea what to do with that. Episode 411 was about exactly that.

    Natasha gives families the confidence to stand up to OCD while still showing the child who’s suffering love and compassion.

  • Thank you

    I am new to the learning aspect of OCD. Ive been a mom of a daughter with OCD and have just dealt with it along the way. But I feel like it’s time for me to learn a better way. I feel like I need a Community to lean on. And a professional with guidance to help me find a better way than just dealing with it. Find myself getting very frustrated at the end of long days and I’m tired and my daughter’s OCD is repeating. And it’s only me in the family that she focuses on so everything I say I have t... more
