285. Overcoming relationship OCD & anxiety

Even in the most perfect of relationships we can have doubts; even when everything is happy and wonderful, questions can still linger in the back of our mind like 'is this person really right for me, should we break up, should I be feeling this way?' This feeling is a symptom of relationship anxiety or relationship OCD and it can be debilitating.

In today's episode we are joined by the incredible and wise Rebecca Ore to discuss:

  • What is relationship OCD and why does it occur
  • How it differs from typical OCD
  • Anxious attachment & relationship OCD
  • Which doubts to listen to and which to ignore
  • How to manage relationship guilt and regret
  • How to confront an anxious relationship thought + so much more
