Are You Woke Enough?
Psychologically Incorrect by Lauren Merclean, LCSW & Nick Flower, Psy.D.
Episode notes
The episode talks about the concept of scrupulosity - religious and moral anxiety and obsessions about trying to be a good person. We discuss an emerging phenomenon of social justice scrupulosity: trying to be perfectly woke/inclusive or being the perfect ally. We discuss the thoughts and behaviors that drive this, the costs of how this affects people and the antidote for it.
