Thank you!!! This has perfectly and beautifully broken down exactly what went wrong in my last situationship, even down to her becoming abusive to test how I felt about her. Crazy how that lightbulb just went off in my mind and stayed on the entire video. I’m truly grateful for this information.
I feel as if I am unable to express my happiness in words for your "seriously traumatic sessions" on TH-cam. If I ever could become, I would say it feels like the "dawn" after a "nightmarish and darkest night".... Thank you, Professor. To me, you are the Sun and all my daily routines evolve around you. (Touching your feet 🙏)
Nice to see you shedding some light on this still poorly understood illness. I think it's worth mentioning that ROCD is not a separate diagnosis in the DSM or ICD, but something clinicians call a 'theme' or 'subtype' (it's an unofficial name not reflected in taxonomy). OCD is OCD; the 'subtypes' are just names given to different presentations of the disorder, e.g. HOCD (homosexual; 'am I gay?'), POCD (pedophilia; 'am I a pedophile?'), and so on. Having such terms helps sufferers (they learn that what they experience has a name and is a treatable illness). It's also not uncommon to see the theme change over time, e.g. someone experiencing relationship obsessions suddenly develops homosexual obsessions (while the previous theme becomes completely irrelevant). I was also very pleasantly surprised you mentioned the latest research on dissociation in OCD. For some other cutting-edge research on OCD, I recommend: Dar, R., Lazarov, A., & Liberman, N. (2021). Seeking proxies for internal states (SPIS): Towards a novel model of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Behaviour Research and Therapy, Volume 147.
My ex had this, then I developed it and we could never just ‘be’ She had so many qualities but always the OCD and ROCD overrides all else Thank you for your wisdom and candour Professor - nobody says it like you do.
I’m so ROCD that I have acquired a ‘phd level’ of understanding of personality disorders just to understand my ex and finally figure out I have ROCD. 😂
Honestly the people I never ROCD moments with. … were on the surface really difficult people. Why didn’t I have it with them … cause they got me. The ones I got debilitated with … deep down inside I knew we were mismatched
you literally have a video for every single obscure problem i've ever had lmao
I know this one has my name written All Over It!!

You just described me
Can ROCD be started by a hurt from your gf that leads to retro jealousy?
Thank you this was very helpful
Hmm interesting... i wonder if i have this.
My daughter says i have OCD.

Another symptom is watching this video more than once.
