Why You Need Jesus AND a Counselor (feat. Mari Pablo)

What training did you get to do counseling with a Catholic foundation? Asking for a mental health professional.

[@maileenmamaradlo8432]

As a mental health advocate and practicing Catholic, someone is finally speaking about the topic from a catholic perspective

[@kathyalex778]

Same! I’m with you on the fact that we should encourage mental health services more! They are life changing.

Honestly...took me 49 years to get help & it's been life changing.

[@paigebrown8743]

“Oh you’re bleeding out? ... Just pray harder 🙏 ...”. I love that parallel that reveals how we treat mental health versus physical health.

[@originalcontent210]

It’s a weak parallel in my opinion, I mean think about it.. people don’t tell people who are bleeding out to pray more because the problem is easily diagnosed (by the serious trauma and all the blood!) and therefore the solution to address the wound and stop the bleeding is the obvious solution, not to mention people are likely to be praying during this whole bleeding out situation, especially the person bleeding out (I know I would be lol) and who is to say that is not what saves their life?

[@paigebrown8743]

@@originalcontent210 It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. You actually explained why it’s a great parallel. No one would ever tell someone who is experiencing physical trauma to “pray it away”. That’s the point, that the parallel reveals. “Pray it away” is insufficient for physical health, just as it is with mental health. Any reasonable person would recommend immediate and necessary medical attention. Some people say “pray it away” about mental trauma and mental health, instead of recommending immediate and necessary medical attention. I hope that cleared things up

Gonna toss this out there. Any ideas on staying grounded and not getting carried away with inner locutions? Like avoiding fake ones and recognizing real ones? 😅 or if they’re real at all? 😐 like for example a few moments ago, I was praying a penitential rosary and i think I felt Mary’s voice say I’d see her in a few moments. Right after, my mom and I facetimed and she’s been really nervous about confession and mass bc of the virus but she just told me she had made plans to go to confession. On the first Saturday of the month. (Possibility for starting 5 Saturday devotion) And I’d been praying for a number of things including that she’d go. We’d discussed it but she’d always pushed back. Another time, I was taking the trash out at work and began wondering what my guardian angel’s name was and asked. Anyway, I remembered we’re not supposed to find out and they don’t reveal their names so easily and suddenly “Samson” clear as day popped in my head and I was like “what kind of a name is that? What an ugly nameofufjdnd well I guess it’s a nice name. God willed the name even though I know that’s not your name.” Forgot about it till later that night when I prayed to be shown a Bible verse I was to read and opened my Bible up. First thing I landed on was the story of Samson and Delilah which basically described and gave a clarity to the then current situation. Any tips though on staying grounded and avoiding psychosis? 💀😐

[@laurenjoyce5687]

@@Ian-dn6ld This is a GREAT topic to bring to a priest! You can call the parish office and ask for an appointment to talk about advice for prayer... a good (holy, friendly) priest would really help you sort God's voice out from your own thoughts!

This makes me so happy! I’m a neurology nurse who strongly believes in holistic healing, including making the patient’s religious beliefs a part of the overall healing process. It saddens me when I find my patients’ religious beliefs being shoved to the side so often in their counseling and therapy work, especially my Catholic patients because I personally share their pain. The thought that there’s one more Catholic counselor out there to help put the biggest smile on my face. :D

[@lohanthony]

This video is awesome. One thing I’ve always loved about Ascension is their ability to discuss topics we so often avoid. As someone who just started seeing a counselor after years of wrestling with the idea, I can only affirm how God works through those anointed to heal. When Maria said “self-sufficiency can ruin you”, I gasped. The raw truth of this statement is applaudable. We are not meant to figure life out on our own- God knew this from the very beginning when he said, “It is not good that the man should be alone” (Genesis‬ ‭2:18‬). Thus, he created man *and* woman for each other! We see the effectiveness of a loving community everywhere- especially in our diocese, families and classrooms. We function best as a united body with Christ as the Head. Ascension, thank you for this safe space to grow closer to God and his Church. Maria, thank you for these authentic words of wisdom! Praying for our universal family in Christ with mental health struggles, and for the loving professionals with hearts ready to serve them. May we continue following the Lord towards healing, salvation and love- for this is the Gospel! 🙌🏽🙏🏽🕊📖💙

As a practicing Catholic Psychology major who plans on becoming a school psychologist, I love this video!! Unfortunately there is a stigma that Catholics don’t believe in therapy because it takes away from God, however this video proved otherwise!! God definitely cares about mental health!!

[@TickleMeElmo55]

Make sure how your state & district use school psychs if you plan on doing grade school or high school level. A good percent of school psychs I know at those levels primarily do testing for IEP qualification/re-evals where mental health issues tend to go to either counselors or school social workers.

[@margueritecanough2125]

As a Catholic psychotherapist, I thank you so much for bringing this to the light.

[@TickleMeElmo55]

I'm also in the mental health field. Working towards my independent license. There are only a handful of therapists offering therapy through a Catholic lens in my area (and I live in a major city with massive metro)! Rather disappointing.

Part of the chains we have to break in our existence are in the relationship with ourselves, and we have to stop ignoring that. Our world would benefit so much from this. Thanks again for the content!

[@ladyopheliagames]

This is what we need on Ascension Presents more. Heck, we need material like this available for people to have access to learn in Ascension Press as a whole. More conversations about the struggle of the modern day Catholic. Thank you for your ministry Mari.

[@didicita100]

We need more Catholic counselors, with my last therapist I talked about a friend entering seminary and she started telling me about how in seminary they teached men to hate women and I just... I stopped going a few sessions later. I wish I had a therapist I could tell about things I experienced during prayer and will not look at me like it is crazy

If this ain’t the truth! Honestly, I think we think that because things are more “slowed down” then it’ll be easier but it’s a new dynamic & we are constantly changing with our surroundings. We’re trying to adapt but it’s difficult to do so. Lent has not been the best at all, but we still have time! We can still use this time for the glory of God & to improve our relationship with Christ.

You have a very valuable message. My only concern is that not all counselors are the same. Unfortunately, counseling can be contrary and destructive to our faith. Choose your counselor well.

[@crenshaw2186]

I grew up in a family that didn’t believe in resting on the sabbath (or even resting at the end of the day for that matter). I took that way of life with me to college. And surprise surprise... I had a nervous breakdown. Smh. 😑 Fortunately I recovered. Let this be a cautionary tale of what can happen when you disobey the fourth commandment.

It helped me during a really low point in my life, and honestly, I wish I could go back right now, it's been a very tough year, and it's only March. To those who have access, please seek help.

It's so sad how much mental health stigma there is and how some think treatment is somehow contrary to our faith.

I believe that just as Jesus miraculously heals some from their infirmities instantaneously and others need to actually go through surgeries, chemo, years of treatment, etc, there are some that can be delivered in an instant from depression, anxiety etc while Jesus chooses the path of counseling for others. Gods plan and will is different and customized for each and every one of us. God bless

I have a faith based therapist, psychiatrist for medications and I have had one appointment with a Spiritual Director. I have clinical depression and acute anxiety. I have suffered with this disorder most of my life. I have been told by a Catholic that my disorder is Evil and a Sin. Is clinical depression which is a mental disorder a Sin? I am open to all opinions

[@SC047074]

I am so glad you mentioned a Catholic Counselor .. I cant stress enough how important this is. Ive been a victim of almost every abuse you can name.. and the direction from the therapists was absolutely demonic. For example, one insisted that she find a man to have sex with me to get over my disgust of sex. They would encourage pleasuring yourself. Thank God all of it made me sick and I could not follow their advise. As a mom now I am so angry at the thought of if it were my daughter being told these things. It is like being thrown to the wolves

Thank you, Mari Pablo! Well said and definitely a much needed talk for many people to hear. God gives each of us gifts so we can help one another and that includes counselors, so there should be no shame in seeking that help! God bless!

[@DanielWSonntag]

I am so with you! This is very helpful. I help people navigate their emotions and overwhelm. We can't do it without God. But I like to say while we're praying for God to heal our thirst, we still have to do our part and get some water. I'm a coach, not a therapist, but we usually need more than one form of help. Plus the clarity we get with help makes it even easier to hear God, or to focus on scripture.

[@tatronhox8711]

I struggled with some mental health things for a few years now. I went to a counselor but it was really hard for us to pinpoint the cause of the problems and therefore figure out what to do. It is certainly nice to have her support and have someone to discuss these things with. But only since I returned to my faith and prayed more I started feeling really better. Dont get me wrong I also think that counselors are important. But sometimes it seems that these problems are something that you need to overcome yourself but with the help of god.
