I'm Andrew Rodriguez, a Christian therapist, speaker, and former youth pastor. In my counseling, I specialize in sexual and relational issues. PsychoBible is my outlet for discussing ideas about the intersection of Christianity and psychology, especially regarding sexuality and cultural issues.
Some topics to expect: Theology of the Body, therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction, and the culture war.
Polyvagal theory is the latest major discovery in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and stress. And as I learned more about it and the autonomic nervous system in general in the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional training by Eric Gentry, I see how the latest research on neuroscience and trauma confirms what we've been teaching and practicing in Reintegrative Therapy, as developed by Joseph Nicolosi Sr. and Jr. In particular, I explain in this video how the self-state model we use in RT maps onto polyvagal theory in exciting ways! This all validates how RT is effective as a treatment for trauma, addictions, and sexuality conflicts rooted in anxiety and shame.

Justin Greenfield is a speaker and spiritual director, coaching churches and individuals to more redemptively address LGBTQ+ topics. I invited him onto my channel to share his story, which serves as a decent case study in the common roots of developing same-sex attraction. We also tie in poignant commentary on recent research.

The culture war is actually a battle between masculine and feminine virtues. Instead of the masculine and feminine ruling together in harmony, one seeks to dominate the other. And though the feminine virtues may be considered the "soft virtues" like love, compassion, and safety, what we're seeing highlighted with the "woke revolution" and the current Lindsay Clancy case is just how dangerous the corrupted feminine is.

I'm taking a brief break from my typical videos to give some encouragement inspired by the new Looney Tunes movie, "Coyote vs. Acme," featuring my favorite characters, Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. If you've been facing challenges and disappointments, take some lessons from the genius that is Wile E. Coyote!
