In our Sunday live, we start off our by talking about four common helpful ways people relate to their intrusive thoughts, while also diving into your questions on regret, religious OCD, scrupulosity, medicatoin and more!
Are you exhausted from battling intrusive thoughts, salvation anxiety, and the endless cycle of reassurance-seeking? Do you find yourself stuck in spiritual paralysis, constantly checking if you're "really saved" or if your faith is growing? This in-depth Q&A tackles the patterns keeping you trappedโand how to find actual freedom.
Do you battle with regret and wonder what to do with it? What about scrupulosity and religious OCD? Does it have a work of stagnating your growth? You may be surprised at the answer that I gave in response.
Do you have intrusive thoughts that accuse you about your sexual orientation? Does it overlap in your ability to have fruitful relationships, fueling an ROCD struggle?
I also address a parent of a grown adult son who have completely cut himself off from family and friends. What do you say to her grieving heart?
And in marriage, should a spouse be a nurturing support and when does it become too much? And how does a husband and father heal when he has OCD and has been on so many medications, meanwhile, his moods feel so out of control?
