318: When OCD & Anxiety Show Up in Friendships
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
To wrap up this month's focus on relationships and OCD, I dive deep into how OCD and anxiety can show up in platonic relationships.
In this solo episode, I talk about common friendship-based compulsions (including reassurance seeking, mental reviewing, confessing, avoidance), the fear of being seen as "too much," recognizing patterns of rumination, and practicing self-compassion instead of self-shame.
As a reminder (as with every episode this month), you are deserving of friendship, connection, and community.
