In today's episode, I'm talking about relationships doubts and anxiety - something which is often referred to as ROCD (Relationship OCD).

For many of my clients, they're in relationships with loving partners & they don't want to break up with them - BUT their brains will not let them relax.

They find themselves constantly questioning 'Am I in the right relationship?' and overthinking and nit-picking everything their partner says and does.

If you can relate, here's what I'm covering today:

• Why asking 'Am I in the 'right' relationship'? is the wrong question
• The myth of 'The One'
• The unreasonable relationship expectations that may be f*cking with you
• How to discover what your brain is trying to keep you safe from
• A process to guide yourself through a moment of doubt
• AND how to change the way you think about your partner's flaws

Do you often find yourself thinking:

'Why am I still thinking this?!'

'What's wrong with me!'

'I shouldn't STILL feel this way...'

If you're feeling disheartened and frustrated with your brain right now - this episode is for YOU.

I'm going to be covering:

• Why changing the way you think isn't quick and easy
• The unfair expectations we have of ourselves and our brains
• The montage fallacy - and how it messes with our ideas of growth and personal development

In today's episode - I'm answering questions written in by some of you lovely listeners.

We're going to cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Feeling guilt for things like finding other people attractive

• The fear of missing a sign that you're being cheated on
• Feeling like you attract busy partners - and how to get your needs met
• How to catch yourself before you project your insecurities 
• Dealing with a partner with female friends

NOTE - Just because these things may not directly describe what you're struggling with, that doesn't mean the coaching won't still apply to YOUR brain.

No one is going to be in your exact situation - but the fears, thought errors, and behavioural patterns will be surprisingly similar!

This episode is for anyone that's tired of feeling like a slave to their anxious brain.

One of the biggest shifts for me was changing my relationship to my anxious thoughts.

Most of us take our thoughts verrrrry seriously. We think the fact our brain is saying something to us MUST mean it's true. 

We place a lot of importance on the thoughts in our brain - and then end up ruminating, spiralling, and acting in ways we really don't love.

In today's episode, I'm talking about:

• Why we have such unhelpful thoughts
• Why understanding the purpose of these thoughts is powerful
• And I'm sharing practical tools for shifting into the observer of the thoughts - instead of feeling at the mercy of them

Mentioned in the episode:

• How to handle 'What if...' thoughts
• Questioning your thoughts cheat sheet

Do you feel terrified about what your partner may or may not be doing online...

Here's a snippet from a question I received from a listener:

"My question is about trusting someone in the digital age. It feels like more and more our devices are built for hiding things. Every social media app now seems to have a vanishing mode for deleting conversations, and every new version of an operating system offers additional “privacy” features. For someone working hard to heal their anxious attachment tendencies—including hyper vigilance—it feels exhausting! Like trouble could be lurking in every (digital) corner."

Can you relate?

In today's episode, I'm talking all about trust in the digital age. And covering:

• Is it easier to lie and hide things nowadays?
• What we're actually afraid of
• The beliefs that often fuel our fears
• Should you be checking their phone?
• AND setting boundaries around online behaviour
