Welcome to Episode 83 of the
Being Human Podcast: Ask
Dr. Greg! (Q&A, w/ Amy Grace Miller)
In this episode, Dr. Greg is
joined by the CatholicPsych content and community manager, Amy
Grace Miller, to field questions from the community! How do I
overcome sloth? Is it okay that my therapist is using CBT to treat
my OCD/scrupulosity? Should Catholics abandon the field of
psychology altogether? How do I talk to loved ones who admit to
experiencing gender confusion? Plus, more information about how Dr.
Greg’s new certification can benefit you!
Discussed in this episode:
- Answering questions from the community related
to sloth, the field of secular psychology, what it means to be a
Catholic therapist, gender confusion, and more;
- The importance of viewing questions through a
lens of integration, and why it’s difficult to give simple answers
to particular questions;
- The psychological dimension of our humanity as
overlapping both our material and our spiritual being;
- Are certain psychological theories and/or forms
of treatment (i.e. CBT, attachment theory, etc.) okay to
use?
- Clarififying what specifically is anti-Catholic
about the field of psychology;
- Why an education in psychology alone is not
enough for mental health professionals;
- The importance of grounding our education in
how to walk with others in the philosophy of Pope St. John Paul
II
- The Church as a field hospital in the midst of
the current culture war, and the need for individuals trained in
how to adequately care for victims of this
battle;
- How the certification offered through
CatholicPsych can benefit those in various fields and
vocations.
