Overcoming Relationship OCD: Real Love versus OCD Doubt

 

Erin, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and OCD specialist, focuses on relationship OCD (rOCD) and how it can distort one's feelings towards their partner by infusing doubt in otherwise stressful situations. She discusses various 'what if' questions that can bring about anxiety related to OCD. She also introduces valuable tips on dealing with OCD in relationships, such as not asking for reassurance from partners and refraining from comparing one's relationship to others.

 

At the end of the episode, Erin announces the launch of her new OCD wellness workbook, designed to provide guidance at the onset of therapy. Lastly, Erin teases the topic for the next episode - handling a loved one or a partner or family member who is dealing with OCD.
