Intended audience

As you consider purchasing this course, please be advised that although the principles in this course apply to scrupulosity for people of all religious traditions, as a psychologist that works in Utah, my clients are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So, there will be a number of references to this Church throughout the course.

Pricing

Pay only $399 for this course that contains years of my research, writing, and client experiences (less than the cost of two therapy sessions). You get a subscription for 1 year and can watch the course as many times as you like during that time. Why wait? Let's get started!
