If you are struggling with constant doubt and anxiety about whether you are in the right relationship, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place! In this podcast, we delve into the complexities of Relationship OCD (ROCD) , a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts , chronic doubt , reassurance-seeking , rumination , and intense anxiety and avoidance that show up in our romantic relationships. I'll help you explore and understand the deeper roots of your Relationship OCD (ROCD), and ultimately, how to heal it. We will discuss topics like fear of making the wrong choice, fear of making mistakes, lack of attraction, numbness, hyper-fixation on flaws, breakup urges, guilt, jealousy, and more! We examine how ROCD overlaps with attachment styles, especially fearful-avoidant attachment, and how our childhood wounds are at the core of this issue. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety, healthy vs unhealthy relationships, and what real healing from Relationship OCD looks like, beyond coping. Through IFS (Internal Family Systems), Attachment-based Healing, and what I call the Conscious Relationship Framework , this podcast offers a compassionate, non-pathologizing roadmap for healing your way to love, peace, and wholeness.

In this episode, I talk with Juan about his journey with Relationship OCD (ROCD), which he has been committed to working on since he found my work and a label for what he has been struggling with for quite some time. After finding my work and discovering IFS, the concept of Self has really clicked for him and has opened up a door to a new level of spiritual awareness and wholeness. We also do a very powerful session together, uncovering the reason behind one of his avoidant parts. Enjoy! Join the Relationship OCD (ROCD) Course & Community!

Can you have Relationship OCD (ROCD) if you had a "great" childhood ? It's one of the most common questions people ask when they find us. In this episode, we break down the childhood dynamics that often sit underneath ROCD, even in families that looked loving from the outside. We talk about parental loyalty, denial, and guilt, and why so many of us minimize what actually happened. You'll learn how to look at your childhood, trauma, and wounding differently so you can start to see how your particular upbringing shaped your relationship fears.

Agata returns to the podcast after our session a month ago, where we did some transformational inner work on her ROCD.

In this session, I help Agata explore her ROCD by using the Internal Family Systems Therapy model. We explored parts of her who demand she leave her relationship, question attraction, and hyperfixate on height differences, block her access to parts, and give her brainfog and eventually heal an inner child who carries the shame that something is wrong with her.

In this guided exercise, you’ll be introduced to the Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) imagery protocol, developed by Dr. Dan Brown and used within integrative attachment therapy. This practice is designed to help heal insecure attachment patterns by gently and repeatedly engaging your mind, brain & nervous system in experiences of safety, attunement, and unconditional love. Through guided imagery, you’ll connect with imagined ideal parent figures who are consistently responsive, emotionally attuned, and deeply supportive, allowing your system to experience what secure attachment feels like. Over time, this helps remap attachment patterns at a deep, implicit level, creating a new internal sense of safety and stability from which you can relate to yourself and others. Enjoy!
