E16: Relationship OCD (ROCD) and the Shame that Fuels it - Emily's Session

Alex Bishop, RPC, RCT Episode 16

In this session, Emily shares her struggles with ROCD that began in her early years. We explored themes of guilt, shame, and the fear of making mistakes, which are deeply rooted in her past experiences, including family dynamics and personal relationships. Through our conversation, we discussed how these feelings impact her current relationship and how shame is really at the root of her obsessions, compulsions, and the oscillation between "stay" and "leave." The session concluded with a hopeful message about the power of love and the importance of perseverance.
