#110 - Why Your Brain Wants to Run in Relationships w/ Robert James


Listen Later

I know many listeners have felt the urge to escape a perfectly good relationship. This can show up as questioning if you're making a mistake, if you're truly in love, or if you're missing out on something better. I went through it too, so just know you are not alone. I am bringing back OCD and Anxiety coach Robert James to share his journey with Relationship OCD and to unpack why our brains can send us into panic mode in relationships.

We discuss:

  • How rumination and overthinking can keep you stuck
  • The role of self-compassion in overcoming relationship anxiety
  • Why vulnerability and presence are key to healthy love
  • Practical steps to break free from the cycle of doubt
  • Here is the first episode I did with Robert (#52) if you missed that one (it’s a goodie!):
