A Live Parent Workshop Session

for Responding to OCD Moments

McKenna Davis, LMHC, NCC

    • July 25, 2025 from 9-10:15 AM ET

  • These sessions meet virtually via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. A private link to join each session will be shared with parents prior to the group start.

  • A live 75-minute Parent University workshop called “What Do I Say to That?” This is a hands-on, interactive session designed for parents to be able to practice how to respond when OCD shows up in real-time through reassurance-seeking, bargaining, “just curious” questions, and other sneaky ways OCD can blend into everyday conversations.

    Parent University workshop sessions are designed to be a guided, digital rehearsal space where you can practice, reflect, and learn alongside other parents walking a similar path. Come as you are. Leave a little more equipped.

    You’ll walk away with:

    • Language to confidently and compassionately respond to OCD

    • Practice through mock role-play examples with common parent-child OCD dynamics

    • A cheat sheet of go-to phrases & OCD "comebacks"

    • Tips for avoiding accidental accommodations without rupturing connection

    • A better gut sense for when OCD is sneaking in and what to do next

    This Parent Workshop session is exclusively available to current clients actively engaged in ongoing therapy. If you're interested in becoming a client, we’d love to connect with you. Please call our office at (712) 524-5433 to schedule a free consultation and learn more about getting started.
