So your teen has a therapist and a plan - but in the moment, they still need language to ask for support without getting pulled into reassurance loops. đź’›
And let’s be real, teens don’t always want to talk when OCD is loud. Having something simple they can point to or text can make a big difference.
👉 Try printing these out, saving them in their phone, or even giving each one a number they can use instead of explaining everything in the moment.
They’re not asking for less support --
they’re asking for the kind of support that actually helps.
That’s how teens build confidence, tolerate uncertainty, and take back control from OCD 💛
