Faith & OCD | Stick with the Ick

When faith becomes tangled with fear, doubt, or guilt, it can feel so isolating. But you are not alone!

For many people, OCD latches onto what matters most. Faith, values, and moral questions can start to feel heavy, urgent, or impossible to get “right.” This space exists to help you understand what’s happening and find support in community through:

Inclusive Spiritual Community

Trauma informed spaces for individuals navigating OCD across religious and spiritual traditions.

Resources & Events

Courses, support groups, chats, forums, and live gatherings focused on faith, OCD, and scrupulosity through an evidence-based and faith-informed lens.

Support on the Journey

Inclusive community & spiritual support for those navigating scrupulosity, treatment, & recovery.

A little more about SWTI...

Stick with the Ick is an inclusive virtual community welcoming individuals, clinicians, and clergy navigating the intersection of faith and OCD. With a variety of resources spanning diverse religious/spiritual traditions, including webinars, consultations, courses, support groups, and motivational forums, everyone is welcome.

Rev. Katie O’Dunne founded this community (and mobile app!) in 2024 to empower individuals to take a leap of faith in their treatment, offer clergy the knowledge to provide spiritual support without reassurance, and equip clinicians with interfaith literacy to foster culturally responsive treatment.

Stick with the Ick views evidence-based treatments for OCD as amazing spiritual practices that reconnect individuals navigating scrupulosity with the Divine in authentic ways - paving the way to reclaiming the big, beautiful, awesome lives each person was created to live
