Thank you for such an interesting conversation ! I work asa general practitionner in France, and find rocd is still largely unkwown. Merci for all these precious informations !
How do you recommend doing ERP / determining what's ROCD vs real issues, if you've already broken up? I.e. the OCD got so out of control that the relationship ended but now you're trying to determine (and obsessing about) whether or not to get back together
I am a 63 yr old woman who has stuttered most of my life. My stuttering is not much of an issue anymore. A lot of therapy. Therapists have not talked about OCD and subtypes with me. I talk about my ruminations, trauma and shame. It seems I should be diagnosed as OCD .
I feel like I’m no longer attracted to and fallen out of love with my partner, even though I still have intimacy with them both physically and mentally, I still care about them, worry for them, our daily life with each other seems like every other days, feels like I’m still in love with them. But in my head, sometimes I feel like I want to breakup, I want to be alone, I want to be free and on my own. I also keep finding every little signs to improve that I am or am not still in love with them. So I have ROCD And my question is. Those thoughts about “I want to be free and on my own” is real, that I truly feel that way and want that way? Or is that ROCD makes me feel that way and it’s not my real thoughts?
The discussion begins at 6:00.

Does anyone have a link to the self-help program?
