Most of the time with ROCD, we feel disconnected, numb, distant, anxious and scared.
Not only with our partner, but also with ourselves.
And trust me... I get it. I've been there.
We want to lean in for a kiss (Or... here's that anxious thought "Do I really want to?")
Instead... we are held back with feelings of anxiety in our stomach or repulsion.
We look at our partner and check to see if they seem attractive, and if they don’t look attractive... we feel guilty, disconnected and numb.
We look to our partner to feel connected, but instead of connection, we are met with disconnection, anxiety... and a bunch of feelings we don't want to feel.
Our partner does something loving for us, but instead of feeling excited, we feel sad, anxious and completely withdrawn (which makes us question their love for them deeper).
Sex might not feel enjoyable anymore. Intimacy feels scary, and when we look at our partner, we feel a drop in our stomach with thoughts that tell us we “need to run”
We feel the furthest we’ve ever felt from the person we desperately want to feel good with.
It’s like we want so deeply to experience love, but there’s a part of us that says no.
Not only do we feel disconnected with our partner, we feel disconnected with ourselves.
Maybe the person in the mirror feels foreign, we feel out of touch with ourselves, and we miss our own happiness and joy that we once had.
We might get glimpses of connection with our partner, but after a couple of days, it goes away. Or, we become anxious that it'll go away, so we grasp, and in turn lose it.
Why do we have small moments (even seconds) of connection?
How do we keep that connection?
How do we experience deeper love and connection with our partner?
Here’s the thing… It's doable. It's just how, that makes it different.
It's not about focusing on feelings, or checking for feelings of being in love.
But something different. More powerful, more fulfilling and the most rewarding.
It's more mature, it's more stable and it feels exciting and empowering.
We're here to show you how.
