An important part of anxiety and OCD treatments, like the SPACE program, is decreasing accommodations like providing reassurance, participating in compulsions like hand-washing and doing things for our child so that they can avoid exposures.
When parents decrease accommodations for anxiety and OCD, our children can have big reactions, making it difficult for our own brains and nervous systems. We can feel overwhelmed and find putting down the ping-pong paddle (disengaging from arguments) and maintaining changes in accommodations challenging.
In this compassionate and non-judgemental space, you will learn about:
- embodied practices for settling your brain and nervous system’s stress response
- accompanying your feelings of fear, overwhelm, guilt and frustration with compassion through experiential exercises
- steps to establish and follow-through on changes to accommodations
