I am so thrilled to announce our next guest, Jaimie Eckert. Jaimie and I met online a few years ago after I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, specifically Scrupulosity. Scrupulosity is religious and moral OCD, in other words, it is the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior surrounding one's religious beliefs.A scrupulous person is overly concerned with doing the right thing and irrationally doubting one's standing with God. When I met Jaimie, I did not know much about OCD or their themes, but she walked me through that season so gently and help me restore my faith and sound mine. OCD has multiple themes, including but not limited to: harm OCD, relational OCD, pedophilia OCD, health OCD, scrupulosity OCD, and many more. Most people state things like "Oh that's just my OCD" when it comes to cleaning the house or requiring the blinds to be straight, but OCD is much deeper and intrusive. It is important not to confuse perfectionism with OCD. On this episode, Jaimie takes us on a lovely journey discussing Scrupulosity and how to heal from these intrusive thoughts and debilitating mental illness. I am excited for you all to listen or watch this episode as I know it will be educational and encouraging!
