Episode 49 Published 5 years, 3 months ago

Description

Intro: Welcome to the podcast Resilient Catholics -- the podcast formerly known as Coronavirus Crisis: Carpe Diem! That's right, in this new year we have a new name, and it's fitting because we have broadened our scope to do so much more than help you, our listeners deal with the Coronavirus Crisis.
1. When this started out.
  1. Coping skills, build resilience, not alone-- crisis management. Now a long crisis.
3. Now not just about making it through the coronavirus crisis
4. Now we are really about increasing resilience through transformation -- a radical transformation of self, overcoming anything that gets in the way of us loving God our Father and Mary our Mother with the trust and dependence of a little child.
  1. Resilience from a Catholic perspective
  2. And there are both great similarities and great differences in resilience understood from a Catholic Perspective and Resilience from a secular perspective
5. Resilience through Human formation -- a lot more to say about this in the future.
6. We are still all about rising up and embrace the possibilities and opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth right now, in these days, all grounded in a Catholic worldview.
7. I’m clinical psychologist Peter Malinoski and I am here with you, to be your host and guide.
8. This podcast is part of Souls and Hearts, our online outreach at soulsandhearts.com, which is all about shoring up our natural foundation for the Catholic spiritual life, all about overcoming psychological obstacles to being loved and to loving God and neighbor
9. This is episode 49, released on January 4, 2021
10. and it is titled: The secret impact of our shame on our sexuality
11. This is the 13th and final episode in our series on shame. We are wrapping up that series, but we will be coming back to shame over and over again in future episodes, because of how central it is in our lives.
12. This is also the first episode on a new series of episodes, a new series all about sexuality.
  1. We are going to spend time on sexuality and in the coming weeks we will address many topics, including masturbation, pornography, adulterous affairs, pre-marital sex, asexuality, homosexuality, and sexual trauma and its effects.
  2. And we're going to get into the topic of sexuality the same way we do with all the topics on this podcast.
    1. We assume that what the Catholic Church has always infallibly taught to be true is indeed true, and then starting from that theological, philosophical and metaphysical base, we bring in the best of what psychology offers. And we harmonize the best of psychology with what we know to be true by Divine Revelation. Here we don't try to reshape Catholicism to fit the latest and greatest woke ideas from the world about sexuality.
  3. 1. So I will be coming from that Catholic base. And that is a minority position in psychology -- if you want to know what the latest trends and beliefs are in the secular psychology community you can check out the guidelines that the American Psychological Association puts out on its website APA.org. This podcast is for people who really want to understand psychology harmonized with the perennial teaching of the Catholic church
  4. 1. And to that end, I invite feedback, especially if I teach anything that is in error. Please get in touch with me at crisis@soulsandhearts.com or at 317.567.9594.

      2. Don't email me and tell me that a confessor you went to ten years ago said that masturbation is normal and God doesn't mind it all. That's not helpful.
Sexuality is such a huge and complex issue and
