269: A Deep Dive Into Relationship OCD - with Sheva Rajaee, Therapist, Author, & Founder of The Center for Anxiety and OCD


Listen Later

Sheva Rajaee, MFT, is the founder and director of The Center for Anxiety and OCD in Irvine, CA, where she manages a team of clinicians specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

She has spoken about her own OCD journey in a 2017 TEDxUCLA Talk, has appeared on CNN, been interviewed in HuffPost, and is the author of Relationship OCD: A CBT-based Guide to Move Beyond Obsessive Doubt, Anxiety and Fear of Commitment in Romantic Relationships.

In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of Relationship OCD (ROCD), exploring the normal doubts and misconceptions that come with love and relationships. We discuss the pressure to always have certainty, the myth of the 'perfect' relationship, and how the grass is often not greener on the other side.

We also emphasize the importance of embracing uncertainty, trusting yourself, and making decisions from a place of calm, not anxiety. We hope this episode can remind you that you're not alone.
