She opens up about: -intrusive images and "false attraction" spikes -emotional numbness and derealization -the shame of not recognizing her partner -comparing her partner to others -the impact of OCD on her long-term relationship -what finally helped her truly heal We hope our beloved Martina's courage brings you comfort and hope.
