315: Relationship OCD & Valentine's Day
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Valentine's Day is like the Super Bowl for Relationship OCD. It's the perfect opportunity for thoughts to creep in. There's pressure, comparison, thoughts that may feel louder.
In this solo episode, I talk about how Valentine's Day, especially social media posts, can amplify ROCD thoughts, even if you're not in a relationship. I dive deep into the importance of slowing down, self-compassion, and noticing thoughts without needing to assign meaning or turn them into answers.
If this time of year and "big" days (birthdays, anniversaries, engagement, moving in together) make your thoughts feel louder, you're not alone.
