Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Relationships

Obsessive-compulsive disorder in relationships manifests as intrusive doubts: do you love your partner, and does he love you, how compatible are you, and of course, is he The One. You cannot interrupt the flow of these thoughts, tormenting your partner with constant checks, mistrust, and torturing yourself. OCD can prevent you from attaining the intimacy and love that you deserve. Anxiety can make you isolated and lonely in an endless search for the perfect person. With the help of proven psychological methods (cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure and response prevention), you can learn to coexist peacefully with intrusive thoughts and feelings. The author is convinced that fighting OCD will only worsen your situation; the more you try to suppress intrusive thoughts, the more power they will gain over you. Using the methodology presented in the book, you will gradually transform your thinking and arrive at a healthier understanding of what happy relationships are. Face your fears and discover that you can cope with them. Gradual inner work will lead to confidence in your own abilities, deep healing, and allow you to build reliable and strong relationships, full of understanding and pleasure from intimacy with another person.
