This really is immensely helpful, Ive always heard that we have to love ourselves in order to love others but it never made sense to me, it sounded like some self-help cliché, and now it makes perfect sense in light of Catholic doctrine, thank you!!

Hello brother please help me please my mom suffering kidney disease and I face poverty and unemployment please feel my I'm really needy I'm just humble request to you please 🙏

my father passed from cancer in 2001. i didnt grieve or know how to deal so i just didnt. literally 1 year on the date of his death, panic attacks and anxiety set in. I have battled it ever since.

Just found your channel today and it has already helped me so much and confirmed things that I also felt God revealing to me. Thank you so much.

Agreed, Adam! It seems to me there is too much self righteousness these days. Thanks for this video.

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.

Thank you , as a fellow catholic with psychosis 😪

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

Hello Adam my name is Eli Torres. I’m so happy that God send me to you. Just by hearing your message and seeing how you’re feeling each and everyday makes me want more 🙏🏽🥶💯

Thank you Adam God bless you 🙏🏽

❤❤❤

I am happy to say that after months of dealing with intrusive thoughts, I am no longer attacked by them. I decided to watch this video to really understand why I went through what I did. You made some great points! Thank you for making these videos, intrusive thoughts can be horrifying. I will pray for all those currently dealing with them.

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.

This is great :)

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”.

Thank you for the good video! Could you please link the book, you talked about at the end? :)

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.🙏✝️🙏❤️💛❤️

This is exactly what I was looking for this morning.

I pray our lady of sorrows rosary 📿 & st dymphna on a daily I suffer extreme anxiety every day Internal shakes racing thoughts & im so glad I came across your channel Thank you 🙏🏻 😊 please keep posting

Do you offer online teen therapy

Thank you! You suggested getting into the Bible but what if reading it is triggering bc it gets twisted into Him being harsh?

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.

Thank you, I needed to hear this today

Are you in Texas? I have a friend who needs a good Catholic therapist who is severely depressed and has suicidal ideation?

Thank you.

Im 71yrs been with Jesus God and Holy Spirte with Marian Conservation. I have a good Parish and good People. Could not be Happier and more in love with God everyday. Peace Out and Love. Brush your feet backwards and walk away and Pray for that person. MMLZZZ ❤

I see the book The Power of Silence in the background! I have it, havent finished reading it yet. Your videos are really helping me identify my negative thought patterns. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video- what a wonderful explanation! ❤

Thank you for this helpful advice and guidance. I'm autistic and Catholic and am learning to assert boundaries in day-to-day life, which is enabling me to apply boundaries to negative thoughts. I attend the Traditional Latin Mass, through which I find stillness, focus, reorientation and connection with the Holy Trinity. Also, to be in the present moment, I strive to recollect my identity in God - by reading and recalling affirmations. Finally, using prayer beads/a prayer rope and the Jesus prayer is beneficial. I've greatly benefitted from learning about attachment theory/science, including a book 'Attached to God' by Krispin Mayfield. DG.

This is the first time I watched one of your videos and the topic is on point!

Something else I feel like isn't talked about a lot with reconciliation is it's not always about reconciling with the person who hurt you but with God. Reconciliation for the things we did in situations with that person. Reconciliation for the things we allowed to happen and also asking for healing and peace for the reasons why it happened that we may never come to know in this life. To be able to move forward without explanation or apologies from the one who hurt you and to move forward in God's will for our life.

As a Catholic married to a Buddhist wife your advice was spot on. Their was a lot of wisdom and insight in your presentation and I really enjoyed listening to you and to your reasonings and advice.

How do you cope if you have no one available at the time?

Thanks so much for your videos.

Thanks for the video. It's very helpful to those with scrupulosity or intrusive thoughts after healing from such an evil addiction.

Words to remember, words to live by! ❤❤❤

It's 6 June 2024. I'm subscribing.

I love this because it’s so true

May God bless y’all prayers out for y’all. For all also struggling with scrupulosity, let’s have more faith in God. Trust in Him, may we trust in God. We humbly pray and wish all of this through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior’s Holy Name, Amen.

Great video! Can I suggest a video about keeping hopeful, or managing worry? Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video!

Hope there would be more of this

Adoration not gonna work? Jesus is the the only one who can truly heal us. Adoration is essential.

Hi Adam, I have a genuine question. Unfortunately, I misled many people with a false Gospel months ago. By many I mean thousands. I feel bad because I tried to reach out hundreds of people privately and I lost sleep, peace and so forth. For instance, I feel like I have to go check every comment I've ever posted on Instagram and Reddit by checking the section "comment history" and delete and/or rectify the false Gospel I shared before. Am I right in doing this or am I exaggerating?

💫🌻🌹🌺💫

Great job in your video. Including prayer in sessions has lots of benefits. Clinical therapy can be pastoral and mutually beneficial; especially for clients whose Christian faith is integral to their well being and social support. Amen

i know jesus forgive us, that's when we are having confession the priest told me. to forgive someone

its hard for me to forgive to someonenwho sinned me so the better to stay away from her than to see her. everyday

Thank you! Your videos are so insightful
