Dr. Crete has a great speaking voice!
His voice is incredibly soothing
Thanks! I appreciate the affirmation!
Face for radio. Jokes.
Thank you SO MUCH to speaking to the anxiety and scrupulosity. I struggled with this and from time to time I still do. I think it definitely comes from a place of just wanting to please the Lord and afraid of offending him, but it robs us of our peace and that is something the Lord wants to heal.
❤️🙏🏻🌹
So true. So crazy how the enemy can even twist that!
I still fight with scrupulously. In my case, it's a manifestation of OCD. It definitely has made my life of faith difficult, but, with the grace of God, I've not given up the fight. I'm still very much in the "game."
"The fully healed person is not a person engaging in sin." Amen 🙏
It would be great to see him back on the show!
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 ... trying to work on that last one...
It gives me great comfort to hear the soothing voice and the calming reasoning of your guest.
Thank you for this! Pure gold regarding the IFS and parts talk in talking about the spiritual aspect of it. I've struggled with that as a survivor of CSA and dealing with aftermath results of CPTSD, DID, and a host of other acronyms. 5 years of weekly therapy imcluding EMDR and grace of God helped save my life. Bless you both!
Dr Crete should read a Bible sleep story on Hallow . 🙏
That's a great idea! Stay tuned! GKC
Consider giving this guy a segment the way you do father pine.
As a practicing catholic and trainee therapist in the UK, I am sad that I can't attend Dr Crete's talks. I am grateful, however for the content here! thank you both
Did you use Redlands?
A lot of people discredit the entire study of psychology because of the new age pseudo scientists in the field. That’s why I’m so glad there are those like Fr. Ripperger with such an incredible background in the field and even fuller understanding of the human person through their traditional formation.
This is so so so refreshing and beautiful and true. Both your description and Matt’s of what it means to be healed resonates deeply. Thank you so much for your wisdom and work, Dr. Crete.
Interesting talk. I definitely think this is needed
I have been a single father for 12 years. In my experience, and I think for many others, there is nothing specifically for us in the Church. Nothing. Nothing at all. Unless you consider devotion to St. Joseph something, which it is, but that’s not the way most of us think or feel or experience. The bishops are oblivious. The Pope is a hindrance. Priests are by and large unequipped. I would advise a father newly single via divorce to find friends and family who can help. The ecclesiastical hierarchy has no motivation to help us because we do not promise soon to contribute to the bottom line of the parish register. Also, the seminaries have weeded out the blue-collar priests who would have understood us in days gone by. Offer up your suffering to Christ. He too was abandoned by the Apostolic College. He understands, and St. Joseph understands bc he had to face down the insanity of Herod and maintain himself before God and all the world.
Oh goodness this is so beautiful and perfect timing ~ praise be to God ~ ❤️🙏🏻🌹 ~
This is an interesting topic. I have worked in the mental health field for more than 30 years and I’m Catholic. I work in emergency mental health services and I am acutely aware that I am tending to souls and deal in all three spheres The mental, the physical and spiritual. It is not uncommon for me to deal with people whose primary problem is spiritual and where appropriate I give direction and this regard. It’s a big piece of my job that is generally not recognized or noted. It’s good to hear a discussion about it.
He said he would never counsel someone to get a divorce. What is your opinion on the situation of a clear case of abuse, especially where the spouse is consistently unrepentant, blames and shames and poses a danger to the family?
It would not be my place to give a person that specific sort of direction - but I have encouraged a person to separate where there is serious kinds of abuse. There are cases of course where marriages can be annulled.
Great voice ! So relaxing .
I really enjoyed this! Please have him back!
Great talk! What a terrific guy, thanks for having him on the show again.
Best part starts at 1:02:55
I just discovered your channel , you’re amazing ! God bless you
This is very very good. Great idea to interview a therapist. Thank you!
It's great discussion! Thank you very much.
A good episode. He is very likeable, I wish I could meet him!
My grandaughter Abigail know s st Guadalupe ➕❤️ because I pray to her❤️
I Believe in Love is a fantastic book. Glad you mentioned it.
Awesome talk. Thank you!
I needed this. Thanks Matt !
I’m with you Chris. I’m from Jackson Heights, now living in Miami. Good luck! 👍🙏🏻
I think I like the word “surrender” better than “detached” although I realize the former might have of course, differing connotations for others ~
So in my mind, to be in a state of surrender would also be a form of letting go of my attachments ~ I know.... hairsplitting, but I’m one of those who can be starkly sensitive to words ~ it annoys my poor husband ~ lol ~ so I’m basically surrendering the need to hold onto my personal insecurities about any given thing ~ same as detachment but with maybe not so rough a connotation ~ “detachment” reminds me of apathy ~ or any form of uncaring ~
Interesting episode, I see scrupulosity as good in so far as it helps you to cooperate with God’s Grace (confession) but taken to the extreme can be symptom of of a psychosis. Thank u for this nugget of insight 👍🏼
I had it for several years.
If it's severe, it's more like it cuts you off from any ability to perceive God's grace. Confession gives no relief because the second you walk out, you remember something you forgot to confess, and the rest of your day is spent trying to figure out if you forgot it on purpose, if that makes it a mortal sin, and if you're this not in a state of grace.
Some people who have it won't recieve communion, ever, because they never feel like they're truly in a state of grace.
Indulgences? Forget about it. Those require you to be free of "attachment to sin", and when your every waking moment is spent obsessing on if you're a dinner/currently commiting a sin, participating in an indulgence becomes impossible.
Maybe having scruples can be helpful, but scrupleosity isn't ever, i don't think.
I think we need to distinguish between scrupulously which is bad and a tender conscience which is good.

Upon further reflection, your right.Thanks.

You just described my experience to a certain extent.I am getting a little tired of having to use my internal microscope but the need to be faithful is greater. I now see balance is key and a skill.
You have my prayers. It's a really difficult cross to deal with. ❤️
How does one find a Catholic therapist in their area?
49:11 info at that timestamp, apparently 😎
@@fragwagon Thank you 🥰
@@BronxCat you may do it.
personally my therapist has a bunch of "good-vibe" Christian pictures in her office but she is prodesant.
you'll be jeopardizing a lot if your looking for answers that need a catholic bias.
Wow wish I could go to his office.
This was great!!!
Excited for more Suan Sonna! 🎉
I am crying laughing right now at your sleep story words Matt😂🤣😭 “Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth”
Hope he talks about adhd I find it hard to live with and people don’t take it seriously I find
Never ending beer
That’s not a question…. Lol
Lmao I liked the video before it even started just cuz of that
Matt Should try to have Kim Zember on PWA before the end of June
Matt, please interview Father Donald Callaway!
Thanku for this
Ohh, this was before Thursday coming on...lol
Wow, you're an Aussie, Matt!! I believe "you still call Australia Home"!
How does one apply to be "Jamie" 👀
I'm sitting here wondering why he's talking about getting a Joe Rogan Jamie as if Wednesday doesn't exist and then noticing that this video was made two years ago so I guess it's prior to Wednesday
Excellent guest. "The" topic of the age. Great questions. "Over analyzing vs. over spiritualizing? Wow.
Only "c"atholics can answer this to any satisfaction. I'm saddened that "C"atholics no longer try, yielding exclusively to the former.
Can someone timestamp if someone asks how to find a Catholic therapist? I don’t know if I’ll have have 1 1/2 hours to watch it all (as my nine-month-old is climbing on my head.)
Also, was it Adam Blai who talked about possession vs. psychological problems?

Thank you thank you thank you!
I tried Hallow based on your recommendation but, unlike the Pieta App, it had no Traditional Catholic mode so, I found it of little use. It’s entirely designed for Novus Ordo Catholics. I contacted their developers and they had no idea what Traditional Catholicism is. Too bad. It has a lot of promise but is definitely not for all Catholics.
Here in the uk we have Weekend University this is an interesting set of courses or rather talks on the human condition it is steeped in secular culture and although discussion of spirituality is often covered it’s from a sacred or Buddhist bent. There’s lots of examples on UA-cam put eg weekend university Johan Hari on depression for example. How can we integrate/challenge these views when we’re so silent about our ‘Catholic Psychology and Psychotherapy’ many wise and reputable people present on this channel and I’m not hearing a Catholic response to this I think this is one example of where the Catholic faith is loosing ground to secular ideas, teaching on spirituality here in the uk for example is so integrated that any smart theory of human being is just soaked up and God and faith and religion is fringe and swept away or distorted! any ideas on this?
Dear Dr Gerry, why would one be worried if they try hypnotherapy by themselves? Let's say if it doesnt involve disassociation but just allowing a maximization or minimization of sensations..
I think some basic relaxation type exercises (like mindfulness) is fine... to do real "therapy" in a hypnotic state, or to do EMDR, on oneself for that matter, is risky. I think the guidance of a trusted professional is important. GKC
Matt you should have dr John delony on
The more we study phsycology the faster we mature.
GREAT INTERVIEW MATT !!! 50 minute mark ... WHOA ... Helping someone explore their own ideologies of life will not help them challenge their disordered beliefs, only uncover them and work towards integrating them aka healing .... I would argue that isn't healing because you are continuing to feed disordered thoughts ......When he says it isn't his professional role to impose his morals , that is correct, it's professionally unethical for licensing ... secular issues ... .. also .... it reminds me of Joe Biden's argument for being pro life personally and pro choice professionally ....

Well he shouldn’t be judging them anyway . God will decide that .

Wouldn’t all this parts talk make one a schizophrenic?
Not a crisio fan
A lot of gay people who have had near death experiences said they were nothing but loved when they crossed over .
Romans 1:27. Leviticus 18:22. 1 Corinthians 6:9. The list goes on… not sure what you are on about.
@@alphabeta8284 there’s 48 books missing from the bible too , that were omitted when the bible was put together . I’ve always wondered what was written in them , maybe the people that put it together left important books out ! Who knows ????
You can be LGBT and Christian no problem
I'm a communist & a catholic, & I see no problem either.
