In this episode, Ericka sits down with Rev. Katie O’Dunne to talk about how OCD treatment is also a spiritual practice for both her and her clients. Although this conversation is centered around those with OCD, the theme of surrendering to uncertainty and choosing faith is really a spiritual practice that all people can benefit from.

More about Katie O’Dunne:

Rev. Dr. Katie O'Dunne founded and leads an inclusive virtual community for those navigating faith and OCD called Stick with the Ick. An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, she spent 7 years as the Academy Chaplain and Chair of Religious Studies at Woodward Academy in Atlanta, simultaneously consulting on interfaith programming nationwide. Drawing on this experience, Katie educates clinicians and clergy, promoting culturally responsive treatment across religious/spiritual traditions. She leads the IOCDF Faith & OCD Action Council, consults on Religion & OCD with OCDI Texas, and received Vanderbilt’s Doctor of Ministry Award for Distinction in Integrative Care Practices.
