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.
What does psychological, emotional, and sexual change entail? Before we dive into the change process for the sexuality issues I usually address, it would be good to review the processes of transformational change of emotions, behavioral problems, attachment styles, and outdated schemas. We'll see how experiential therapies--and even certain ministry approaches--use memory reconsolidation to edit the emotions, behaviors, and core beliefs associated with implicit memories. If you're a client, this would be a great video to help orient you to the therapy process.

Here's an addendum to my previous video on the differences between shame and guilt and their subtypes. Who are individuals most vulnerable to experiencing false guilt? And what metrics should you use to determine your standards and expectations for yourself? If you've lived through emotional enmeshment or abuse, this video is for you!

Shame and guilt are two of the most critical emotions involved in counseling, especially for addictions and sin issues. God gave us these emotions for good reasons, so we need to know what they mean, which type you're feeling, how to know you're feeling them, and what to do with them. But beware: evil manipulates these feelings to keep us in bondage.

During our semiquincentennial anniversary of the United States of America's independence, I have been so encouraged by the love for America expressed by World Cup visitors from around the globe. I wish my fellow citizens appreciated our great nation as much as these foreigners do! We have so much to love and be grateful for in the USA, but the spirit of envy threatens to destroy us.
