Trust & Thrive
Welcome to Trust & Thrive! My name is Tara Montazeri and I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Through insightful and vulnerable discussions, I hope to inspire my listeners to trust the process of their unique journey and thrive as their most authentic self. I aim to encourage these actions with a conscious, practical, and attainable approach to self-reflection and community care. I often feature individuals from a multitude of professional fields, levels of expertise, and life experiences who generously share their stories and invaluable knowledge to my listeners and me. My guests and I touch on topics related to mental health, relationships, systemic issues, generational wounds, and other topics that influence us in our everyday lives. I hope these conversations encourage us to approach our journey of self-awareness in a thoughtful, mindful and compassionate way.

290: Relationship OCD - Sharing My Experience & Answering Your Questions
In this solo episode, I open up about my personal experience with Relationship OCD (ROCD), including how it's shown up in my current relationship and how I navigated these thoughts before I even knew I lived with OCD. I share both about my personal relationship, while incorporating what I've learned as a therapist and in my work.
I also answer your questions from Instagram and TikTok, including how to tell the difference between real concerns and OCD, exploring one's relationship to guilt, and how to talk to your partner about OCD.
While OCD can feel incredibly isolating and there can be a great deal of shame and guilt that comes with ROCD specifically, I hope this episode can remind you that you're not alone and that you just as deserving of love as anyone else.
As always: this episode is for education and entertainment purposes — it is not a replacement for therapy or professional mental health services.
