You have been with your partner for quite some time, but your relationship is still peppered with incessant, nerve-wracking worries.

Everyone should read this book!

Is It Me or Relationship OCD by Elise Mills was an eye opener for me! I had not heard of ROCD! I loved the C.O.N.N.E.C.T. method, I had not heard of that before as well.

This is a must read if you are currently in a relationship, struggling in a relationship or have struggled in past relationships.

Now I know what is going on and I can start to implement these steps to alleviate my suffering and hopefully learn new, healthy ways of coping.

Great Resource
