Okay, this episode is brought to you by No CD. Have you guys ever had a really stressful,

unwanted thought pop up during worship? Maybe it made you feel like you needed to start your prayer

over because it wasn't right or perfect. Filled you with shame or caused crushing guilt because

it felt like it offended God. A lot of people have

thoughts like these, including me and Ange. And trust us, we know how scary and isolating they can

be to struggle with. They can even leave to compulsive behavior like constantly asking for

reassurance, punishing yourself, or having bad thoughts, or worrying about participating in

religious practices like praying incorrectly.

But here's what changed for us. Learning that these thoughts aren't character flaws or signs of weak faith.

They might be symptoms of religious OCD, also known as scrupulosity. OCD is really misunderstood,

so a lot of people are surprised to learn that it can focus on religion. But it's true.

OCD can latch onto anything you deeply care about, including your faith. And when it does,

it can be devastating. But there's hope because with the right kind of therapy, OCD is highly

treatable. That's where no CD comes in. With no CD, you can do a virtual therapy designed specifically for OCD.

They're a licensed therapist that deeply understand OCD, as well as your faith and how important

it is in your life.

They'll help you work through these thoughts using exposure and response prevention or ERP,

a type of specialized therapy that's the most proven treatment for OCD. NoCD also accepts major insurance plans, including United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and more,

and provides always on support between your therapy sessions.

If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone.

NoCD can help.
