    How Scrupulosity OCD Distorts Humility

    Back when I was living with undiagnosed Scrupulosity OCD, one of my most destructive OCD cycle loops had to do with developing Christlike attributes - especially humility.  The Religious OCD distorted humility to mean that it was sinful to be proud of yourself, feel hurt by other people, etc. And this is not a common occurrence among the Scrupulosity OCD community.  That's why in this episode, I'm sharing my do's and don'ts when it comes to humility as a Scrupulosity OCD sufferer.  For more information, check out this blog post: https://www.abbietabbilos.com/articles Connect with me: Website: https://www.abbietabbilos.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abstabbs/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abstabbs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tothemoonandbacknomatterwhat YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AbbieTabbilos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbie-tabbilos-55ab9422a Download my free 3-step guide, "How to Change Your Relationship With Your Thoughts": https://www.abbietabbilos.com/newsletter-free-resource-landing-page Headshot photo credit: Mark Daeson Tabbilos from Your Filipino Photographer.

    Feelings Aren't Facts - Especially When You Have OCD

    It's common to think that if you don't feel happiness or peace, it means you have done something wrong and need to repent. Scrupulosity OCD can find tons of evidence for you to feel this way, and even though you can tell it's harmful for you to think this way, it feels so real! In this episode, we talk about how to address when emotions feel like evidence, and feelings feel like facts. In addition, you'll hear about:  Pema Chodron's quote, "Pain is not a punishment, pleasure is not a reward" and how it applies to Scrupulosity OCDStrategies for how to address OCD stories like the one mentioned aboveA healthier way to respond to your emotionsFor more information on this topic (and Pema Chodron's quote), check out this blog post: https://www.abbietabbilos.com/post/feelings-are-not-facts-especially-when-you-have-ocd Connect with me: Website: https://www.abbietabbilos.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abstabbs/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abstabbs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tothemoonandbacknomatterwhat YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AbbieTabbilos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbie-tabbilos-55ab9422a Download my free 3-step guide, "How to Change Your Relationship With Your Thoughts": https://www.abbietabbilos.com/newsletter-free-resource-landing-page Headshot photo credit: Mark Daeson Tabbilos from Your Filipino Photographer.

    Is It the Spirit or OCD?

    If you've been diagnosed with Scrupulosity (Religious) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), chances are you have been confused about whether you received revelation from God or if it was just your OCD talking. I understand that answering this question can be incredibly complicated, especially since many people eventually realize that some of their most treasured spiritual experiences were simply the reduction in anxiety that comes from completing the OCD cycle. In this episode, we cover everything you need to know about how to discern God's voice when you have OCD, including: Key adjectives that describe both the Spirit and OCDHow to avoid getting trapped in the OCD cycle when you're trying to figure out what is OCD and what isn'tReal-life examples that illustrate how to do soFor more information on this topic, check out this blog post: https://www.abbietabbilos.com/post/is-it-the-spirit-or-ocd Or this article: https://iocdf.org/faith-ocd/living-with-ocd-religious-traditions/church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints/ Connect with me: Website: https://www.abbietabbilos.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abstabbs/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abstabbs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tothemoonandbacknomatterwhat YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AbbieTabbilos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbie-tabbilos-55ab9422a Download my free 3-step guide, "How to Change Your Relationship With Your Thoughts": https://www.abbietabbilos.com/newsletter-free-resource-landing-page Headshot photo credit: Mark Daeson Tabbilos from Your Filipino Photographer.
