To continue the theme of ROCD this month...in this episode, I talk generally about anxiety and OCD-related thoughts and behaviors in relationships. I lean into the importance of integrating self-compassion for yourself as you may experience these thoughts. I also share your responses from Instagram stories (anonymously, of course) to remind you that you're not alone.

I also share some personal examples and experiences related to ROCD and how real these thoughts can feel, and how our bodies can respond as if it's a real threat, even when it's a false alarm. In addition, I discuss the stress that comes with doubt and not having a set answer...and hope to remind you that you are deserving of love and connection, even with these thoughts. 

Especially with Valentine's Day coming up, this is your reminder that it's okay if it feels like any other day, whether you're single or in a relationship. There's no "one right way" to spend the day, even when others on social media say differently. Take extra care of yourself <3
