About this episode
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. ✅ Stay Engaged: During flare-ups, normal activities signal safety to the nervous system.
