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.
A couple months ago, Julia Sadusky, a well-known Catholic psychologist, made some videos criticizing Reintegrative Therapy and disparaging the legacy of Joseph Nicolosi, Sr, the founder of Reparative Therapy. Among her offenses, she attempts to pit Nicolosi, Jr. against his father, accuses the late Dr. Nicolosi of aversive techniques, accuses Reintegrative Therapists of being coercive and unethical, and she misrepresents the landmark Pela & Sutton longitudinal study of 75 men who experienced Reintegrative Therapy. As a student of the Nicolosis and a certified Reintegrative Therapist, I'm setting the record straight, using this opportunity to respond to a range of misconceptions about Nicolosi, so-called "conversion therapy," SAFE-T, Reparative Therapy, and Reintegrative Therapy.

Here's a "reflession" based on a common theme in some sessions from this past week, addressing the question of what to tell yourself when you don't want to do what you think you should do. Instead of just pushing through your resistance, acknowledge your agency, understand your resistance, and then identify what would be good for you to do.

Matthew Grech had great news today about his three-year trial over Malta's ban against "conversion practices." He was persecuted just for sharing his testimony of leaving a gay life to follow Christ. And this isn't the only good news to celebrate lately!

Way back in 1945, C.S. Lewis predicted the cultural revolution we're seeing today. In his finale for the Space Trilogy, he describes a cabal of intellectual elites with the agenda of reshaping society and humanity itself. The N.I.C.E. foreshadows so much that we see today from the sexual revolution, wokeness, the postmodern neo-Marxist revolution, and transhumanism. Let's explore the parallels!
