    Mourning Past Religious Experiences During Scrupulosity OCD Recovery

    After you are diagnosed with Scrupulosity Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), it's very common to question the validity of your past religious experiences. You may wonder how many of the times you felt "the Spirit" were simply the reduction in anxiety that occurs after a compulsion is completed. This often leads to individuals with Religious OCD going through a type of "faith crisis" in which they may struggle to determine what they do and do not believe, mourning who they thought they were/used to be and more. In this episode, we discuss all things related to mourning your past religious experiences (or your past self) during Scrupulosity OCD recovery, including: When you feel like you're starting from scratch when it comes to religionBeing afraid to tell others how complicated religion currently is for youHow to navigate this season with grace and self-compassionFor more information, check out this blog post: https://www.abbietabbilos.com/post/for-when-you-mourn-who-you-were-before-scrupulosity-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, "Recovering from Scrupulosity OCD: A Crash Course":  https://www.abbietabbilos.com/newsletter-free-resource-landing-page Headshot photo credit: Mark Daeson Tabbilos from Your Filipino Photographer.

    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, "Recovering from Scrupulosity OCD: A Crash Course":  https://www.abbietabbilos.com/newsletter-free-resource-landing-page Headshot photo credit: Mark Daeson Tabbilos from Your Filipino Photographer.
