Description:
OCD extends far beyond anxiety, and guilt is one of its most challenging forms of discomfort. Scrupulosity often magnifies ordinary doubts into overwhelming spiritual or moral fears, showing up in different ways across religious and spiritual traditions. For many, guilt is further compounded by religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and adverse religious experience, creating layers of complexity in treatment. Regardless of experience, this session explores strategies for helping clients separate OCD-driven guilt from authentic values as they reclaim their lives.
Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:
Describe how OCD and scrupulosity create discomfort in the form of guilt.
Analyze the impact of religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and adverse religious experiences on OCD treatment.
Differentiate guilt of OCD from authentic emotional experiences.

Description:
OCD extends far beyond anxiety, often intertwining with grief and loss in complex ways. For many, this includes not only the pain of tangible loss, but also the loss of time, opportunities, or relationships. Diverse religious and spiritual traditions shape emotions around grief, but OCD can distort and even block authentic grief processes by fueling compulsions. This session equips clinicians to support clients navigating grief on the OCD journey.
Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:
Apply knowledge of how OCD compounds the experience of grief.
Differentiate religious and spiritual traditions shape expressions of grief and how OCD can distort these processes.
Integrate approaches that help individuals face grief with compassion rather than compulsions.
