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.
Do you have sexual memories that bother you? Would you like to reduce your arousal associated with these memories?
Are you curious about what actually happens in Reintegrative Therapy?
Well, you can participate in paid research conducted by Dr. Joseph Nicolosi Jr! He's seeking participants for a study testing out a brief Reintegrative Therapy protocol on unwanted sexual memories.
We need both men and women. And the memories can be opposite-sex or same-sex in nature. We're especially in need of more females and people with heterosexual memories. So, this would be a great opportunity if you have a p*rnography or sexual addiction struggle and would like to sample this approach.
Here's the basic info: https://psychologyforum.com/t/participate-in-paid-research-on-memory-recall-and-sexual-arousal.121640/?fbclid=IwAR3uLdOFSGE7tKU35maYp9IZQxt3J-iE2yKBobhMydgnYJHmvLJPreyXjqY
And some points:
- It's confidential.
- It's fast; takes only about 8 minutes. Then there will be a couple follow-ups to reassess.
- You can be from anywhere in the world.
- Participants will receive a total of $16.
- Dr. Nicolosi is personally conducting the research himself and performing the intervention.
- It would be completed remotely.
- Participants do not need to describe the sexual memory in detail.
- Participants have a 25% chance of just being placed in a placebo group with no intervention used.
- This research helps advance the science of Reintegrative Therapy.
If you are willing to participate, you may contact him at [email protected] and then he will contact you himself to set up a time to talk.
In honor of my parents' birthdays (Dec. 16 and 17), I interview them to discuss Open Heart Ministry, their service to the homeless and displaced in Myrtle Beach, SC. Luis and Marilyn Rodriguez are chaplains with years of experience doing lay ministry and pastoral work, such as mission trips, prison ministry, helping people in addiction recovery, teaching ESL and GED training, and caring for the elderly. I admire my parents for always being open to the Holy Spirit leading them to show people their worth.

I'm honored to present this interview with Christine Sneeringer, director of Worthy Creations. We discuss her story of sexual redemption, coming to Christ as a lesbian in a church softball team. She served alongside the late Sy Rogers for 20 years, producing his videos, so we reminisce about Sy. And we cover Christine's new book, "Answers to Gender Madness," reviewing the chapter on do's and don'ts for parents when their child announces a trans identity. There are some great nuggets in this conversation. Be blessed!

This brief exercise is a homework routine you can use to transform outdated schemas (templates for how you feel, believe, and act). In this video, we'll review schema formation and the counteractive and memory reconsolidation approaches to changing schemas, then learn how to practice changing your implicit learning on your own. This schema disconfirmation exercise is an excellent follow-up to the coherence script I previously taught.
