The Catholic Couch
The Catholic Couch is where the science of the brain meets the wisdom of the Church, and neither one has to lose. Each episode pulls from real counseling ground, the nervous system, attachment, intrusive thoughts, the way fear runs underneath so much of what we carry, and holds it right alongside Scripture, the sacraments, and the saints as people who actually lived this. If you've ever felt like you had to choose between good psychology and your faith, come sit down; there's so much hope here, and we just start taking the small steps together.
