EMPATHY AND OCD: HOW SUPPORTING PARTNERS CAN ENHANCE RELATIONSHIPS. MY CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL AND TRACI PERKINS – PART TWO

EMPATHY AND OCD: HOW SUPPORTING PARTNERS CAN ENHANCE RELATIONSHIPS. MY CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL AND TRACI PERKINS – PART TWO Today I have for you the conclusion of my conversation with Michael and Traci Perkins, discussing how one partner having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can affect relationships. If you haven’t already listened to part one of this fascinating conversation, I encourage you to go back and listen. People in relationships with individuals who have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may encounter various challenges. It's important to note that OCD affects individuals differently, and the severity of symptoms can vary. Traci and Michael discuss some common issues that they face with Traci’s OCD, such as: avoidance behaviors, impact on social life, emotional toll, therapy and treatment challenges and balancing support and boundaries. I also mention my wife’s comments about these issues with regard to our relationship.
