In this episode of The Out of OCD Podcast, Toi Hershman dives into a widely misunderstood OCD subtype: religious or moral scrupulosity. Toi draws from personal experience to explain how this condition affects individuals’ faith and mental health.
Key Topics Covered:
- What is Religious Scrupulosity?
- A subtype of OCD involving intense fear of sin, blasphemy, or punishment.
- Common compulsions include repetitive praying, excessive confessions, and seeking reassurance from religious leaders.
- The Emotional Impact:
- How scrupulosity drives people to avoid their faith or worship spaces.
- The excruciating feelings of guilt, shame, and fear tied to this OCD subtype.
- Treatment and Hope:
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as the gold-standard therapy, even for religious scrupulosity.
- The importance of shifting focus from fear and punishment to love and grace.
- Resources and Support:
- The International OCD Foundation’s free online support groups and conferences like the “Faith and OCD” conference.
- Encouragement for listeners to seek help and know they are not alone.
