Scrupulosity

Jill Freestone is back on the podcast this week talking about what happens when those who have OCD bring it into religion. This type of OCD is called scrupulosity and it happens when someone obsessively worries about their behavior going against their religious or moral beliefs. In a church that has a lot of “do’s” and “don’ts” thinking clearly and not obsessing and acting on compulsions can be very difficult for someone with OCD. Jill does a great job of teaching why rules are actually there and how sometimes in order to be free of scrupulous thinking you have to learn to break the rules not for disobedience but so that you actually can take a higher moral road and live with more faith. Scrupulosity is probably more common than you know and this episode will help you see where it shows up either in your own life or in the life of a loved one.
