Series Title: Healing from Spiritual Scrupulosity [Part II of IV]

In this episode Valerie and guest author Taylor Kerby delve into the complexities of OCD scrupulosity within the context of the Latter-Day Saint faith. 

They continue their conversation tackling the following topics connecting OCD spiritual scrupulosity with the LDS faith tradition: 

1. Spiritual Exceptionalism (addressed primarily in episode 231) 

2. Low emphasis on the cultivation of personal authority 

3. High anxiety around sexuality and an integrated sexual identity 

4. A transactional relationship with God 

5. An atonement theology that leaves people feeling anxious, guilty, afraid, or shameful 

The episode concludes with a call for church leaders to know their limits and a plea to direct individuals to professional help, aiming to foster a more supportive and growth-oriented environment for all connected to the church.
