ON-DEMAND OCD LECTURE SERIES FOR THERAPISTS
Family accommodation is one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, barriers to OCD recovery in children and adolescents. In this lecture, Dr. Caroline Haimm walks clinicians through the SPACE treatment framework and evidence-based parent coaching strategies to help families reduce accommodation and become active partners in their child's recovery.

What You’ll Learn
WHY PARENT COACHING WORKS
Including when children refuse individual therapy, when parents are more motivated for change than the child, and how it can accelerate individual ERP treatment
HOW THE ACCOMMODATION CYCLE OPERATES
Why well-intentioned parental responses maintain OCD symptoms over time and undermine a child's ability to cope independently
THE TWO PARENTING TRAPS
The "protecting" and "demanding" styles, why parents oscillate between them, and how to strike the evidence-based middle ground of supportive parenting
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO REDUCE ACCOMMODATION
How to chart accommodations, select the right first target, and deliver a thoughtful announcement to the child
HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT AND END TREATMENT
Managing child pushback, knowing when to move to the next target, and helping parents build confidence to continue the work independently
