Please join us for our next CBT SIG meeting to be held on

Thursday, February 13, 2020 from 11:30am-1:00pm.

SIG Topic: Treatment for Relationship Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (ROCD)

Relationship OCD (ROCD) is a subset of OCD in which sufferers doubt plutonic or intimate relationships.  While it is common for people to experience some doubts about compatibility of their connections or worries about their partner’s perceived flaws, sufferers of ROCD experience intense obsessions and compulsive behaviors that interfere in their relationships.  This SIG will provide in-depth education on ROCD and effective treatment strategies.
