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.
Here's an important moment from my commentary of Jordan Peterson's interview with Simone Gold from America's Frontline Doctors, in which I show the parallels between the COVID tyranny (including blocking access to effective treatments) and LGBT activism and bans against therapy for exploring change in sexual attraction and gender identity (what they call "conversion therapy" ). This tactic is a violation of the right to free speech for not only the therapist, but especially the client.

Here are some thoughts about the themes in the new MCU movie, Thunderbolts, about trauma, pain, depression, nihilism, and what's necessary for healing. I made some connections from this superhero comic book movie to "The Road Less Traveled" and Jordan Peterson and the therapeutic process of transforming our old schemas.

Here are my thoughts after seeing the film "A Real Pain" (2024), starring Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg (who also wrote and directed it). It's a poignant portrait of two extreme approaches to the pain of life: unrestrained expression or suppression of emotion. It highlights our utter need for close relationships, demonstrating the consequences of how we deal with emotions on other people.

This month marked the 5th anniversary of the COVID lockdowns. As we went through 2020 and certain frontline doctors started challenging the narrative, I made a video pointing out the parallels between how they were treated and how my colleagues and I are treated in the field of therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction and gender identity confusion. They were called dangerous quacks; we're called the same and labeled "conversion therapists." We've all been censored and worse. Recently, Jordan Peterson interviewed Simone Gold, one of the founders of America's Frontline Doctors, and her story vindicated all that I've been saying.
