“Superstition, when taken too far, can become the tools having control over you.”
—Sarah Faith Gottesdiener
I recently wrote a piece for Well + Good on the intersection of anxiety, OCD, and spirituality. It tackles a question I’ve grappled with for awhile: is it spirituality, or is it an anxiety disorder?
This topic is *so* nuanced and complex, and my hope is for that to come through in the piece. So grateful to the therapists, practitioners, and folks who shared their personal experience with me for contributing their wisdom to this piece.
You can check it out here if you haven’t!
With care,

Appreciate this and relate very much. Thank you for digging into it!
This is such an important piece, and written so well! It's a huge issue, one that I try to hold carefully and with awareness, but not enough people talk about it. Thank you for sharing this with us!
