Scrupulosity | Religious OCD Resource Page

While I recommend my main OCD resource page, here are a list of resources dedicated to the subject of scrupulosity and Religious OCD.

If you’re struggling with scrupulosity and Religious Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, you’re not alone. Many have battled with this for centuries. I believe this battle has been around for a very long time. Yet many do not even know what they are struggling with.

This challenging battle can cause immense anxiety, guilt, and inner turmoil related to your faith and spiritual matters. While seeking help is crucial, it’s equally important to find resources that understand the unique nature of scrupulosity and offer guidance rooted in both spiritual and psychological understanding. My passion is to bring resources to you.

This resource page is designed to provide a starting point for your journey toward healing and freedom. Here, you’ll find information, guidance, and support to help you navigate the complexities of scrupulosity and find a path to peace. Remember, healing is possible, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.
