How I Almost Lost My Relationship To ROCD/RA (ft. Martina)

from Awaken into Love Podcast · host Awaken into Love

Today, Manon (Awaken into Love Director) sits with Martina, a longtime Awaken into Love ROCD/RA community member and HOME member (our ROCD/RA peer-support group) whose journey will resonate with anyone who has ever questioned their relationship, doubted their feelings, or felt shame about their intrusive thoughts. In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Martina shares how ROCD first showed up three days into her relationship, how misunderstandings from therapists intensified her anxiety, and how years later, during a stressful life transition, her symptoms resurfaced in painful and confusing ways. She opens up about: -intrusive images and "false attraction" spikes -emotional numbness and derealization -the shame of not recognizing her partner -comparing her partner to others -the impact of OCD on her long-term relationship -what finally helped her truly heal We hope our beloved Martina's courage brings you comfort and hope.
