In this episode, Kleo shares her journey of navigating Relationship OCD (ROCD) and Disorganized Attachment. During our session, we worked on helping Kleo connect with her avoidant parts, something she had long resisted due to the intense overwhelm these parts often triggered. In the past, their activation would lead to spirals of anxiety, helplessness, and eventually depression.

By gently reassuring these parts and creating a sense of safety, we were able to facilitate a profound moment of healing. This episode offers an intimate look into the therapeutic process, illustrating how IFS Therapy can guide us toward deep emotional transformation, self-understanding, and resilience.

In this episode, I help Andriy explore a chronic anxiety that he's been experiencing for most of his life, in addition to Relationship OCD and Disorganized Attachment. By focusing on this anxiety, Andriy was able to connect with a one and a half year old inner child that was abandoned by his mother due to her own mental health issues. Through Andriy bringing compassion and presence to this part of him, this inner child received the physical contact and loving embrace that he has been seeking for years.

Through our conversation, we discussed how these feelings impact her current relationship and how shame is really at the root of her obsessions, compulsions, and the oscillation between "stay" and "leave." The session concluded with a hopeful message about the power of love and the importance of perseverance.
