EP 11: Dr Hooman Keshavarzi - Religious OCD: Untangling Obsession from Devotion

In this episode, we sit with Dr. Hooman Keshavarzi to explore where Islamic psychology and OCD meet, with a special focus on religious OCD, often called scrupulosity. Together, we talk about the symptoms of OCD, how the inner critic shows up in our lives, and the ways spirituality can play a healing role. We share practical strategies for coping, and reflect on why it matters to seek support from practitioners who truly understand the religious context. Most importantly, we highlight the hope that treatment brings — reminding ourselves and our listeners that recovery is possible, and that none of us have to walk this journey alone.You can find Dr Hooman on:https://khalilcenter.com/staff/dr-hooman-keshavarziOCD Workbook: https://khalilcenter.com/articles/ocdworkbook You can find me on:Website: https://nouraamkieh.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nafsandtherapy
