This is basically a masterclass on understanding OCD! If you experience obsessive thinking, self-doubt, and fears of making mistakes, this episode will help you understand how SHAME underlies these patterns. Alex and I talk about our own experiences of shame and anxiety and how to work with shame. We touch on multiple OCD themes (sexual orientation OCD, harm OCD, relationship OCD, etc), religious trauma, and childhood trauma.

In this episode, I talk about how we experience anxiety and frustration in our relationships when we try to fit love into a rigid box of what we think it "should" be. Trying to fit love into a box leads to nitpicking, trying to change/control our partners, and feeling unnecessary dissatisfaction. I invite you into a powerful shift in perspective so you can see your relationship as your teacher of all that love can be.

RUN, don't walk to listen to this episode! I interviewed my client Dylan and his wife Emily about their experience navigating relationship anxiety/OCD as a couple. They vulnerably share what they've learned about themselves, each other, and love through the painful experiences that relationship anxiety often brings to a relationship. Emily shares what it's like to be on the receiving end of Dylan's relationship OCD, and Dylan shares about how he learned to love Emily, even when his anxiety wanted him to run. I had the honor and privilege of being at this couple's wedding and I am in awe at how far they've come since I first started working with Dylan 3 years ago. Healing is possible.

In this episode, I address one of the most frequently asked questions that we get: what if I heal and find out I have to leave my relationship?

I peel back the layers and reveal what's driving this fear in the first place. WHY does EVERY CLIENT we've ever worked with have this fear (or some variation of it)? Hint: it's not because it was secretly their "truth" all along...

Check out episodes 13 and 15 to hear directly from our clients' experiences of this work!

In this episode, I chat with my favorite grad school professor, Kris Larsen, about how to change your relationship with your anxiety through curiosity. We dig into what anxiety is and how it's often a fear of how deeply we can love and how much passion we have for life. We also talk about MY experience with anxiety during grad school and how he helped me unravel it! I owe so much of my work to him.

Kris is currently a professor at the Embodied Education Institute of Chicago: https://embodiededucationinstituteofchicago.com
