Scrupulosity Explained: Is It a Sin or Is It OCD?
Notas del episodio
Saint Ignatius of Loyola once considered walking off a cliff because he couldn't stop confessing sins he wasn't even sure he'd committed. That's scrupulosity and it's more common than most Catholics realize.In this video: what scrupulosity actually is, how it's different from a normal working conscience, where religious OCD fits into the picture, what saints like Ignatius and Alphonsus Liguori actually did about it, and what real, practical help looks like.. spiritually and clinically.If any part of this sounds like your own experience, please don't sit with it alone. Talk to a confessor who understands scrupulosity specifically, and consider talking to a therapist too. Getting help isn sometimes the most direct way back to get back to your spiritual.#Catholic #Scrupulosity #ReligiousOCD #CatholicGuilt #Confession #CatholicMentalHealth
