Most people think OCD is about being clean or organized. It's not. OCD is one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed mental health conditions — and it shows up in ways most people would never recognize. In this episode, I sit down with licensed clinical social worker Julia Resnick to break down what OCD actually is, how it overlaps with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism, and why so many high achievers struggle with it without ever knowing. We also get into Relationship OCD — what it is, why it makes you constantly question your feelings and seek reassurance, and how to tell the difference between normal relationship doubts and something deeper. Plus what real treatment looks like, why healing is so uncomfortable, and what to do if you think you might have OCD but have no idea where to start.Follow Julia! @ocdtherapywithjulia on IG!For more in-depth mental health resources & more, visitrealwithcw.comFollow me on Instagram: @realwithcw
