Episode Details

Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.

✅ Autism vs OCD: Autistic repetition brings joy; OCD rituals bring fear.
✅ Compulsion Cycle: Compulsions feed OCD and reinforce the sense of threat.
✅ Delay Strategy: Waiting minutes before compulsions weakens the OCD loop.
✅ Reassurance Trap: Repeated reassurance fuels fear; offer co-regulation instead.
✅ Real Event OCD: OCD invents false narratives around dim memories.
✅ Faulty Alarm: Frame OCD as a false alarm, not danger.
