A Psychoeducational Workshop on Navigating ROCD as a Couple

$75.00

Day/Time: Sunday, March 15th from 12pm - 1:30pm ET

Relationship OCD (ROCD) can create cycles of doubt, anxiety, and disconnection in a partnership. Intrusive thoughts, reassurance-seeking, and a need for certainty often leave couples unsure how to respond.

This 90-minute psychoeducational workshop offers a clear framework for understanding how ROCD operates in relationships. Grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and evidence-based OCD treatment, we’ll explore how ROCD differs from normative doubt and how partners can respond in ways that support both exposure work, connection, and emotional safety.

The first hour is teaching, followed by 30 minutes of live Q&A.

This workshop is educational and does not constitute mental health treatment. Participation does not establish a therapist–client relationship.

Relationship OCD (ROCD) can place significant strain on a partnership. Intrusive doubts, mental review, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, and heightened sensitivity to “rightness” or certainty often create cycles of anxiety and disconnection.

Couples may find themselves asking:

  • Are these doubts meaningful, or are they OCD?

  • How do we respond to intrusive thoughts without reinforcing them?

  • Why do conversations about reassurance leave us both feeling worse?

  • How do we stay emotionally connected while navigating uncertainty?

This 90-minute psychoeducational workshop offers a structured framework for understanding how ROCD operates within relationships.

Grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and evidence-based OCD treatment, we will explore:

  • What ROCD is — and how it differs from normative relational doubt

  • The interaction between attachment needs and obsessive uncertainty

  • Reassurance and withdrawal cycles that maintain distress

  • The emotional impact of living with persistent intrusive thoughts

  • How partners can respond in ways that support both exposure work and relational safety

  • Grief, resentment, and repair in the context of chronic anxiety

The first hour will consist of a teaching presentation. The final 30 minutes will be dedicated to live Q&A (general questions only).

This workshop is educational in nature and does not constitute psychotherapy or establish a therapist–client relationship.
