0:00.0	There are Christians out there who spend years thinking that they're broken or failing God because they're struggling with unwanted, distressing thoughts. I'm talking about the thoughts that interrupt worship. Will God forgive me if I make a mistake in my prayer? I need to start over and do it perfectly. Or blasphemous images that pop into your head and make you feel like you've sin for just thinking them. Unwanted thoughts like these aren't a spiritual failure. They could be due to a common
0:21.7	but overlooked condition, religious OCD. Religious OCD, also known as scrupulosity OCD, can turn your faith
0:28.4	into a source of constant guilt, doubt, and fear. But because OCD is still widely misunderstood,
0:33.9	a lot of people don't even know that it can focus on their faith. That's why it is so important
0:38.0	to know that OCD isn't just about being neat or organized like the stereotypes suggest. OCD latches
0:44.0	onto what you care about most, causing a cycle of distressing intrusive thoughts and behaviors done to get
0:48.6	rid of the anxiety they create, like praying until it feels just right, repeatedly confessing
0:53.9	the same sin, or trying to
0:55.8	figure out your thoughts. Any relief from these behaviors is short-lived so the cycle keeps going.
1:01.4	Religious OCD isn't something to be ashamed of or suffer from in silence. It's a common type of
1:06.1	OCD, and it's highly treatable with the right kind of specialized therapy, and that's where
1:10.2	no CD comes in.
1:11.6	NoCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider and all their licensed therapists are trained in ERP or exposure and response prevention therapy and the most effective treatment for OCD.
1:21.5	NoCD therapists deeply understand OCD so they know that these thoughts don't mean anything about you.
1:26.9	In live virtual sessions, they'll help you break free from OCD's grip while honoring your faith
1:30.9	so you can get back to focusing on what matters most.
1:33.6	NoCD is covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans, and they provide support between
1:38.8	sessions so you're never alone.
1:40.3	If you think you might be struggling with religious OCD, don't wait.
1:43.9	Head over to nocd.com to book a free 15-minute call with their team today.
1:48.2	That's N-O-C-D.com.
1:50.5	We're going to share the things that we would only share to our close friends.
