What avoidance of feelings is as mentioned by the doctor here is actually "Suppression of emotions". This also leads to "trauma", or what is the wounds that stay inside of us in memory. I have trauma, and one of my " coping" mechanisms was my faith. This I discovered had a term. Its " Spiritual Bypassing". Defined as the misuse of faith and religious practice that tends to hide ones feelings thus depression sets in. Through my readings on trauma and addiction by Dr. Gabor Mate, I was able to find healing. However, I started to develope spiritual crisis because of the notion that it was not spiritual power that helped me but psychology. Here , is where I got to find this talk and with Dr. Matthew, some relief by " integration", on understanding that God is still above all with his mercy and love for us.😊

This was such an amazing and thoughtful episode. It was heartfelt, at times hilarious, all in all - FANTASTIC! I recently read Dr. Breuninger's book so it felt like I was getting the directors cut of it with this heartfelt episode. This was A1! I'll be re-listening to it and sharing it!

[@agnieszkamaria]

Thank you for this touching and therapeutic conversation

[@colomba6637]

These young Fathers AND Dr Breuninger... a double treat!

[@thepersonalvocation]

right!?!?!?

[@colleenfrance]

Beautiful Dr B! So deep and profoundly needed for our times! Think the Frs were speechless 🥰

[@marilynmelzian7370]

This man is very wise. I especially like what he says about fullness of life not being freedom from suffering or distress. That is something I have struggled with-trying to be free from suffering and distress has never helped me.

[@karenglenn2329]

I have already left a comment. I so agree with you. I listened three times. I intend to share this treasure with others .

[@AngelBien]

I was just thinking awhile ago how I would like to see a Catholic perspective of mental health from a thomistic standpoint as well as Dr. Breuninger’s modern approach.

[@karenglenn2329]

To be listened to again and again. And of course shared.

[@Godsplaining]

Thank you, Karen. God Bless!

He is great

[@DreamyTheater]

This was exactly what I needed, thank you so much for this video!! 🙏🏻

[@spyroluver0951]

exactly what i needed! i let my anxiety in 2023 stop me from progressing forward in the disillusion of God protecting me from thorns.

[@AngelBien]

About the crying. I find as I’ve gotten older, when I feel closest to God, that’s when I feel more compassion for others and I allo myself to cry more. But it’s a different kind of sorrow than the depressive angst I often felt. Also, I realize now why I’ve grown to like Fr Gregory Pine more.

[@AngelBien]

Fr Gregory Pine’s audio cuts off at 28:09

[@aiantenor9080]

Yeah

[@msgoody2shoes959]

Oh... welllspring... I see. I believe we are only as healthy as we live as Christ. The world is broken, any advice from there isn’t gonna help. We walk in Christ: so live, love and see him, if you don’t, say so, and then work to make it happen.

[@msgoody2shoes959]

...also I do not ever strive to be noticed, but I hate being a wise bystander to harm. #heartofdaniel
