For Family Members
Having a family member experience significant distress is distressing for the whole family. Often our natural responses to our family member’s distress reduce anxiety in the short term but exacerbate anxiety in the long run.
Accommodation of anxiety/distress in loved ones is a natural loving response of parents and family members but it must be addressed to reduce anxiety.
Success in treatment depends on both clients and their family members being willing to reduce and then stop behaviors that feed anxiety.
We have collected some resources below that you may also find useful in helping you to reduce accommodations for your loved one.

- From the International OCD Foundation (iocdf.org) on the effectiveness of ‘talk therapy’ etc. for treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders:
- Traditional talk therapy (or psychotherapy) tries to improve a psychological condition by helping the patient gain “insight” into their problems. Talk therapy can be a very valuable treatment for some disorders, but it has not been shown to be effective at treating the active symptoms of OCD.
- While talk therapy may be of benefit at some point in an OCD patient’s recovery, it is important to try ERP or medication first, as these are the types of treatment that have been shown through extensive research to be the most effective for treating OCD.”
