In this heartfelt episode of the Awaken into Love Podcast, host Manon (Awaken into Love Director) sits down with Monica, a cherished member of the Awaken into Love community, to discuss her transformative journey through Relationship OCD (ROCD). Monica shares her story of discovering ROCD after a challenging period in her relationship and how she learned to navigate OCD, anxiety, and depression. Through supportive community and personal exploration, she moved from a place of fear and self-doubt to one of empowerment and self-compassion. This episode explores the power of community, the importance of self-awareness, and how sometimes the hardest part of healing is allowing oneself to rest and accept where they are in the moment. A powerful reminder that healing is not linear but a continuous dance between doing, understanding, and simply being.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be a time of love and celebration, but for those struggling with OCD — especially Relationship OCD — it can feel like anything but. Instead of enjoying the moment, obsessive doubts creep in: Am I really in love? What if this isn't the right person? What if I'll never find true love? These relentless questions don't lead to clarity—they lead to anxiety, second-guessing, and, in some cases, pushing away the very relationships that matter most. It's exhausting, and no amount of reassurance ever seems to quiet the uncertainty for long.But what if the real problem isn't your relationship — it's the OCD itself? In this video, we'll explore how obsessive thoughts and compulsions hijack love, making you feel like you need constant certainty in a world where love is built on trust and growth, not perfection. We'll talk about why the search for the "perfect" relationship is a trap and how exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy can help you break free.If OCD is affecting your relationships, help is available. NOCD therapists are specialty-trained in ERP therapy to help you build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

This week on Disordered we're looking at anxiety focused on relationships, specifically a form of OCD known as Relationship OCD (ROCD). ROCD - like all forms of OCD - will glue itself to things that really matter to us. In this case, being in loving, secure, successful relationships with people we love and who love us. Someone with ROCD even when involved in what by all accounts may be a very healthy and satisfying relationship experiences doubt about various aspects of those relationships. Far beyond the usual questions and doubt that all people might experience now and then, ROCD doubt will trigger extreme discomfort and a sense of distress, demanding that one engage in rituals and compulsions designed to alleviate that sense of distress. The thing is ... as usual ... that relief never lasts. ROCD will toss whatever assurance, solution, or peace our compulsions bring us, demanding that the cycle of doubt and rituals be repeated again and again. The episode does include discussion of attachment theory/styles and self-esteem issues that may in fact play a role for people with ROCD, however the focus remains on treating the OCD itself before digging into what may be associated issues. As always, the guys share some success stories from the listener community and answer a question about the difference between distraction and productive focusing of attention. ---- Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control?

We delve deeply into the realities of Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (ROCD) and relationship anxiety with Sarah Yudkin, a relationship anxiety coach and the founder of You Love You Learn. Through personal experiences and her journey from relationship anxiety to fulfilment and self-understanding, Sarah enhances our understanding of common relationship challenges arising from personality differences. We discuss the counterproductive ideal of the perfect "Disney" relationship, and how its pursuit often leads to anxiety. In this in-depth dialogue, we traverse the benefits of meditation and breath work in managing anxiety, the role of self-awareness, and the importance of accepting feelings rather than seeking external validation. Learn from Sarah's insights as she reveals the transformational power of new information and changed perspectives on relationships. Sharing intimate experiences of personal growth through anxiety, we cover the importance of a growth mindset, and how understanding and managing feelings is key in dealing with ROCD or relationship anxiety. Join us as we explore the profound influence of self-compassion, debunk self-critical thought patterns, and highlight the pivotal role flexibility plays in successful relationships. Whether you are battling relationship OCD, relationship anxiety, or simply seeking insight into relationship dynamics, this episode promises a wealth of wisdom and tangible advice.

How do you go from being a Gay Baptist Republican to the Biggest Freak Meme on the Internet? Infamous Pron Clown Ouchy the Clown tells his Origin Story, from his quiet Queer roots in Texas to the life-changing visit to Burning Man that changed everything. Returning to Oakland with 70+ new best friends and an appreciation for people who can juggle sh*t, our pal Doug dons a leather harness, Doc Martins and greasepaint, and naively slides down an underground s*x party's fire pole into their Dungeon. Soon he's Famous on the Net, gives birth to the P*rn Clown Posse, is being flown around the country to jump out of a Refrigerator Box, and is notorious for introducing strangers to his irreverent, lighthearted approach to K!nk. And this week, Dixie fights Corporate Healthcare to help Helen tell her Cancer story, right there in the Chemo chair.

Ouchy's formative years were spent on Alaskan Fishing boats, at Rodeos, in sloppy BDSM Dungeons, Sewers, Clown cars, Tiny bicycles, and Strip Bars with no windows. His favorite color is Ouch, and he loves Dad Jokes and pinching you while you are not looking. Ouchy is certified in nothing, and a legend in his own mind (and in the mind of anyone who knew him).   Episode links: NOCD.com : OCD is more than what you see on TV and in the movies.

Ever needed to juice up your marriage?   Have you ever talked to your wife about fucking a dude together? Burlesque, Drag and Theater sensation Bambi Galore is married to a woman, and they decide that what they need to juice up their marriage  is to pick up some bio-cock together. So Bambi and Heidi create their Threesome Manifesto and head out of town, only to battle whiskey dick, plates of coke, break-ins, Shane from the L Word crashing their threesome, and more. Will they achieve their FFM fantasy?

It is helpful to understand the many different disguises OCD can wear. When we understand how OCD can show up, we can nip it in the bud more often. Relationship OCD is often talked about in an adult context, but it impacts kids and teens as well.I invited Kristina Orlova, an anxiety and OCD therapist and creator of OCD Academy, to come onto the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to help us understand ROCD better.To learn more about Kristina Orlova's OCD Academy click here. Also, check out her podcast and Youtube channel, OCD Whisperer.****This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD. NOCD provides online OCD therapy in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. To schedule your free 15 minute consultation to see if NOCD is a right fit for you and your child, go tohttps://go.treatmyocd.com/at_parentingThis podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.Parents, do you need more support?

We open the show with two questions from people who think they are aromantic. One of them is a woman with two sweet boyfriends, but worries she's not giving each of them what they deserve. The other is a gay man who has never felt the jolt and tingle of new love. Will he ever be swept off his feet?  Our caller is starting a female-only book club reading works by, for and about women. A male friend of hers offered to be their naked servant, making drinks and offering snacks to the clothed attendees. The caller is delighted to make this happen, but there's a hitch… On the Magnum, we suspect that some of you might have Relationship OCD. Dan interviews Sheva Rajaee who literally wrote the book about it. They talk about how we put irrational expectations on relationships (the myth of “The One” for example ) and how anxiety can govern our romantic lives rather than good ole intuition.  And, a man has a big, big crush on his co-worker. She is crushing right back. However! She is married with 4 little kids. Their industry is high-pressure, unique and they work closely together. They haven't consummated their attraction for each other yet. But for how long can he live in limbo?  This episode is brought to you by Squarespace. They make it easy to build a website or blog.
