Ep. 83: How To Overcome Religious OCD

In this new series, we are going to discuss Scrupulosity OCD. Scrupulosity OCD is a form of OCD focusing around one’s religion or morality. It's common to also hear it referred to as religious OCD or moral OCD and can lead to a hyper-focus on morality and whether or not something is right and wrong. Scrupulosity is one of the various subsets of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that can be identified in individuals who experience repetitive, intrusive thoughts (otherwise known as obsessions) surrounding a discrepancy in their religious or moral beliefs. So in this first episode, we are going to talk about faith and fear and how they intersect with our religious beliefs so we can begin recognizing and separating our fear and anxiety from our actual faith.
