OCD and Us: in a Digital Age

Is your relationship stuck in a digital loop of checking, tracking, and reassurance seeking?

It’s time to log off OCD and reclaim your love.

In the past, OCD might have looked like checking a door lock three times. Today, it looks like checking a "Sent" folder fifty times, tracking a partner’s location app incessantly, or spiraling over a text message’s tone.

Digital-age OCD has found a new playground—our phones—and it is wreaking havoc on modern relationships. It turns partners into caretakers, intimacy into anxiety, and smart devices into compulsion machines.

If you feel like there are three people in your relationship—you, your partner, and the OCD—this book is your roadmap to freedom.

OCD and Us is the first guide specifically designed for couples navigating the unique challenges of "Digitally-Mediated OCD." Whether you are the one struggling with intrusive thoughts or the partner trying to help (without enabling), this book offers a shared language and a unified strategy.

Inside, you will discover:

• The ERP Matrix: A visual, step-by-step tool to map out triggers and systematically dismantle compulsions together.

• The Support Partner’s Bill of Rights: How to stop being an "accommodation machine" and start being a true partner again—without guilt.

• Digital-Specific Strategies: Targeted protocols for breaking free from email perfectionism, social media comparison, health anxiety Googling, and tracking app obsessions.

• The "Crisis Card" & "Daily Check-In": Practical tools to de-escalate anxiety spikes and maintain connection.

• Communication Scripts: Exactly what to say when OCD demands reassurance (and how to say "no" with love).

You don't have to choose between your mental health and your relationship. You can have both. It’s time to put the phone down, shut the OCD out, and thrive together.
