When you notice your child, family member, partner or loved one in distress, or compulsing, it is natural to want to do whatever you can to relieve their distress. You might not realize that trying to meet someone’s needs or demands that has OCD is called accommodating. It can make their OCD worse, or at least make their recovery more difficult.
Family members can help the success of their loved one’s recovery by addressing accommodation early. Unfortunately, the more a family accommodates their loved ones, the more the dysfunction and stress all the way around.
Accommodations come in many different forms, and you may not even realize that you are doing it, especially when it comes to giving a loved one reassurance. But it occurs when you take part in their rituals and compulsions. Remember rituals and compulsions are the behaviors they do to relieve their anxiety.
Ways that you may be accommodating their OCD and hindering their recovery include things like:
• Waiting for their rituals to be completed
• Avoiding their triggers
• Supervising them
• Hiding things
• Participating in rituals
• Following their OCD rules
• Giving them reassurance
• Accommodating their avoidance and safety behaviors
