If you feel stuck in a cycle of overthinking your relationship, checking your feelings, seeking reassurance, or constantly wondering if you're with the right person, this episode is for you.

Today we're diving into the hidden compulsions that keep relationship anxiety and Relationship OCD (ROCD) alive. We'll talk about common compulsions like testing your feelings, confessing doubts, comparing your relationship, replaying conversations, future projecting, reassurance seeking, and more. You'll learn why these behaviors actually strengthen anxiety—even when they seem helpful in the moment.

Most importantly, I'll share simple, practical ways to start breaking the cycle with more self-compassion and less fear. Recovery isn't about getting rid of every anxious thought—it's about learning how to respond differently so anxiety no longer runs your relationship.
