I had to go no contact with my narcissistic/psychopathic mother and with my father (who never protected me from the pain, the humiliations, the insults, the emotional, psychological and spiritual abuse that my mother inflicted upon me from my infancy). It is very painful to had to go no contact with them, but I needed to do it to protect my mental health, as I already suffer from complex PTSD due to the abuse… I pray for my parents every day, I love them from a distance in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I want them to go to Heaven too, and there everything will be perfect in charity and joy. I keep forgiving my parents with God’s help and my husband who supports me in all this, over and over, because the pain, the frustration, the anger, etc, etc come to visit me many times, but certainly forgiveness is an act of the will, and with God all things are possible. Please, pray for my parents, pray also for me and my family. Thank you and may God bless you all!

1:42 To be fair, that’s what the Catechism says. That all mortal sins remembered must be confessed. A priest told me not to do so because of scrupulosity.
@TheCatholicTherapist
@TheCatholicTherapist Ай бұрын
That is true, I think in the context of scrupulosity it is different to be analyzing our pasts obsessively for potential sins versus simply remembering one. We also can differentiate what we have already generally confessed versus fearfully confessing the same sin over again.

Good Evening- I’d be careful with how you phrased something. At 7:55 you said that if we’re scared of going to hell that’s not a “great reason to go to confession” in a way this is correct, but it doesn’t make the confession invalid. It’s called imperfect contrition or “attrition” when we confess our sins out of fear of punishment or of hell and we don’t want to go there, or some other reason. Perfect contrition is when we are sorry strictly because we have offended God. I know you did not say this, but I think some of the scrupulous people in here might take this the wrong way. God bless❤️
@TheCatholicTherapist
@TheCatholicTherapist Ай бұрын
Good point, confession is still valid and we don't want to go to hell! There is a greater love still in wanting to not offend God and not just avoiding the effects of mortal sin.

Once upon a time, I went to a Catholic therapist, and upon describing my family dynamic of me being the breadwinner and my husband being a SAHD, she immediately said something along the lines of "Well you can't just upend thousands of years of tradition, of course you're having problems!" I've had much better luck with secular therapists who aren't determined to make my family fit in a box that won't work for us.

I recently came across a case from a notable exorcist(Fr Carlos Martins) where he describes how during a session a demon manifested by doing yoga poses and claimed it’s rights over the victim were a direct result of the poses. It stated it’s name was Kundalini referring to a specific practice within yoga. It would seem that many of these poses can result Hindu deities/spirits yoking to people.
@TheCatholicTherapist
@TheCatholicTherapist Ай бұрын
That might be the case if the outward pose mirrors an inward invitation to a demon, but a pose alone cannot override human free will and God's protective grace. Demonic possession does require our participation with openness to mortal sin.

Another burden that could happen is when you experience an "awakening". Meaning an enlightenment to awareness. Where you have the ability to bring up your unconscious experiences embeded in your mind since you were a fetus, to cons iousness. You would then belong to a minority . Here tendency is to feel disconnected with others. Self- compassion or re parenting then would be a way back to being present and not isolated

Catholics should be aware what inner child means. Most spiritual directors would never discuss what our true Self is. It should be understood that before we can even consider that we are made in the image of God. We first have to consider what our Self really means. We can only do this by becoming introspective and Self-Compassion. Here, instead of identifying ourself with a thought. Become Curious about it and ask why is this thought coming up in mind. Could be a past experience. Then Catholics should understand the importance on being Present and not live in your head. Get back to who you are by present living. If we can reach this point. We have a chance to change into being Authentic.

It is a type of pagan religious practice. Would a Buddhist begin a practice of repeated genuflecting, kneeling, and making the sign of the cross? Just don’t do it. It opens very real doors to the demonic. Each pose worships a Hindu god. The demonic doesn’t care what your intentions are. Certain activities are invitations. This is one of them. Repent, go to confession. Confess you unknowingly were practicing a New Age Occult activity. Athletes and dancers stretch quite thoroughly without yoga. All yoga by definition is cultural. The word yoga means “to yoke” or bond with the “gods”.

I'm very far away from California but I love❤ the idea of a Catholic Therapist! I wish I had known there was anything like a Catholic Therapist when I was in bad shape in my twenties. I cane dangerously close to suicide because none of the secular therapists I worked with could bring an effective solution to the desperate hurt in my life. Though I remember one who was extremely kind and probably helped me just by his very gentle and thoughtful attitude to hang on at a time when I wasn't sure I wanted to be alive anymore😢 May GOD remember him in His Kingdom and show him great MERCY and kindness for he was a good doctor and a great human being 💙 Years later I have now found the one Catholic practice that seems to handle anxiety and depression better than anything I ever knew before - The *ROSARY* Prayer ❣️ The last 4 years of my life have been the greatest as I picked up the devotion on converting to Catholicism! I would describe it as the one ongoing daily *Miracle* in my life! It has replaced the desperation and hopelessness I used to feel with daily Joy and Hope and resilience. Also helped me with the unbearable and debilitating insomnia and night terrors that nothing ever could come close to denting before.👊👊👊 Our Lady Queen of The Holy Rosary pray for these Catholic Therapists and guide many suffering souls to them.🙏✝️🙏❤️💛❤️

Commentaries and Bible study programs can be really helpful to understand what Scripture is revealing to us. St. Augustine had a rule to put simply that if we aren’t walking away from Scripture with a greater love of God and others, then we are misunderstanding it.

God is a fraud. Over years of trusting I experienced him exactly as what he is. A fcking Sinner. A liar. Everything from the bible, all promises are wrong. „Seek him with all your heart“ , „Ask in my name and receive“…. I wanted to proof all those wrong that laughed at me with „God“ For a long time I had convinced myself these were all tests of my will. I believed in that sentiment whole-heartedly. Nowadays, “God” plays cruel jokes on me, with no rhyme or reason. God mocks me, in ways that I can’t possibly grow from. He’s literally jabbed at my own own self-esteem that was already dangerously low. As I am a sufferer of anxiety/panic disorder (Not the “OMG i’m like feeling so much anxiety right now…” assholes,) that believe it to be a minor disability that it’s cool to play pretend. Nay, the I’m having a panic attack and if I don’t call the ambulance on myself I will in fact “DIE” here and now. Ironically nowadays I pray(tongue in cheek) for death. I am not saying there is no God, I am simply stating God is cruel without any of this “so called” mercy we hear so much about in church, as well as in the Bible. God is merciless. God takes pleasure in seeing me suffer. 100000 people prayed for me. Tell yourself “It’s a test” all you like. When you give someone a mental disorder then humiliate said person over and over and over again ad-nauseum, to a “creation” that he knew he’d created with a mental disorder as their “major obstacle” only to mock and humiliate that person with an empty tank of self-esteem.. well tell me.. what do you think that person should think? I think if God ‘in all his infinite wisdom’ he should be good to us, at least occasionally. I’m living a hell that has no end in sight. To the point where I cannot even forsee an “eternal hell” that is worse. I won’t go into too much detail of my personal life, what’s left of it. But I’ve come to the conclusion that there can be no faith, without hope. And there can be no hope, without light at the end of the tunnel. If God is supposed to be that light, I choose to stay in the dark which at least brings me comfort. God will not give me the happiness in this lifetime that I seek. A malevolent God? Who wants to have faith in such a being? Or rather why? God reminds me of the kid in Toy Story, the neighbor kid who blows up his sister’s barbie dolls for the sh*ts and giggles. Only difference is he is doing that to me, whilst I sung his praises regularly and defended his “righteousness” at every turn. I’m done with the ungrateful POS. And rightfully so. Good people suffer, evil people prosper. Time and time again. I do not wish to be evil. But I do not need God to have a moral compass. And I certainly don’t need his torture. Satan or „the enemy“ is not in charge for God not keeping his promises and using his „almighty powers“ By the way- check out how he let the Apostle of Jesus die, after they gave their life to him.
