In episode 505 I chat with Dr Fahad Khan. Fahad is a licensed clinical psychologist. He currently serves as the Deputy Director at Khalil Center, providing psychological services while supervising clinical and research work. He co-wrote The Islamic Workbook for Religious OCD: A Guide for Overcoming Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsions.

We discuss his therapy story, waswasa, compulsive prayer, helping Imans and other community members in understanding OCD, exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), culturally attuned ERP, Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP), words of hope and much more. Hope it helps.
