Do you have a client who seems to be continually questioning their love for their partner? Obsessed with determining if their partner truly loves them despite an overwhelming amount of evidence? If so, they could be suffering from Relationship Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (ROCD). Author and private practice owner Sheva Rajee, MFT, offers insight into the maladaptive thought patterns of ROCD, providing practical treatment direction easily applied to this often unfamiliar disorder.
