This episode of Physically Spiritual is a conversation with Catholic Counselor Jeff Mazzone. He shares his journey from the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to the vocation of marriage and the apostolate of Catholic psychotherapy. We discuss the integration of St. Thomas Aquinas and Sigmund Freud by Catholic psychiatrists Anna Terruwe and Conrad Baars. We contrast true affirmation with unconditional positive regard and attunement, and highlight how to find a counselor that integrates Dr. Anna Terruwe's approach.

Andrew dives into the relationship between science and spirituality, and how deeper understandings about the interplay between biology, psychology, and theology can help us discover and become the best, healthiest versions of ourselves. Combining the best insights from faith and reason are the key to go from surviving to thriving.
