Thanks for sharing both your personal experience and also tips that are tried in true in the clinical realm, even among some different approaches (ERP, I-CBT, etc), because at the end of the day the heart is the same as you pointed out: see the problem for the problem it is and ultimately turn to the hope we have (hopefully utliamtely in Christ at the highest). Love this.

I appreciate this. I think it's difficult because a lot of the anxious thoughts one can have can overlap with convictions, or for instance, my experience growing up was actually sinning in real ways and therefore feeling extremely anxious in unwillingness to completely stop, which sort of feels the same.

Thanks for sharing Justin. Would you happen to know of a good therapist for scrupulosity?

My brother shared this— said he knew you from college and church.

Great stuff. My story with scrupulosity is 20 years long, and I’ve started writing about it. This is a great model!
