In this session, Emily shares her journey with Relationship OCD (ROCD), revealing how feelings of shame and badness have been central to her obsessions. From a young age, Emily experienced episodes of guilt and confession, which she attributes to a deep-seated fear of being perceived as bad. These feelings were exacerbated by significant life events, such as her parents' divorce and the loss of her brother, which reinforced her avoidant tendencies and skepticism about love and trust. Despite these challenges, Emily expresses a desire to heal and embrace love, acknowledging the protective role her avoidant parts play in shielding her from past hurts. The conversation highlights the complex interplay between past traumas and present relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and healing.
