290: Relationship OCD - Sharing My Experience & Answering Your Questions

In this solo episode, I open up about my personal experience with Relationship OCD (ROCD), including how it"s shown up in my current relationship and how I navigated these thoughts before I even knew I lived with OCD. I share both about my personal relationship, while incorporating what I"ve learned as a therapist and in my work. I also answer your questions from Instagram and TikTok, including how to tell the difference between real concerns and OCD, exploring one"s relationship to guilt, and how to talk to your partner about OCD. While OCD can feel incredibly isolating and there can be a great deal of shame and guilt that comes with ROCD specifically, I hope this episode can remind you that you"re not alone and that you just as deserving of love as anyone else. As always: this episode is for education and entertainment purposes — it is not a replacement for therapy or professional mental health services.
