99. OCD, Relationships, and Taking Control of Your Mental Health with Danielle Jhiani
Episode Description
This episode explores OCD, Relationship OCD, and what it truly means to take back control of your mental health and your closest connections. My guest for this episode of Better with Dr. Ericka is Danielle Jhiani, a leading expert in OCD with a specialized focus on Relationship OCD (ROCD), the experience of doubt, anxiety, and perfectionism attacking the relationships we value most.
Danielle is the founder and CEO of My OCD Coach, a global coaching company offering comprehensive recovery programs for individuals struggling with OCD and anxiety. Her expertise is grounded not only in professional training but in lived experience, having personally overcome multiple forms of OCD after finding limited long-term relief through traditional therapy alone. That journey led her to develop the REAL Method, a recovery-based approach designed to address the deeper patterns that keep people stuck even when they are doing everything right.
Questions this episode will answer:
What is Relationship OCD, and how is it different from general relationship anxiety or doubt?
How does OCD show up in our closest relationships, and what do people most commonly misunderstand about it?
What is the difference between OCD relationship coaching and traditional therapy or psychiatry?
What is the REAL Method, and how can it help people move forward toward lasting recovery?
Whether you have struggled with intrusive thoughts, relationship doubt, or anxiety that feels impossible to quiet, this episode offers real insight, genuine hope, and practical strategies you can start applying to your life right now.
