Show Notes

I am so excited to bring back Dr. Peter Malinoski for a THIRD appearance on the Chris Stefanick Show! Dr. Malinoski is a clinical psychologist, president and co-founder of Souls and Hearts, and host of the Interior Integration for Catholic Podcast. He has worked with patients in his private practice for more than 20 years.

Today, we are discussing scrupulosity. Do you know someone who is VERY strict with their spiritual and moral practices, to the point where you think it might be a problem? Or, do YOU sometimes struggle with feelings of unworthiness of our Heavenly Father’s love? If so, this episode is for you. Scrupulosity is a spiritual and psychological affliction that can sprout from a desire to be pious and virtuous, and can be associated with obsessive compulsive behaviors. Dr Malinoski and I discuss the roots of this affliction, how to combat it, and how to find a solid therapist who respects your Catholic faith to help you overcome it.

Let me be perfectly clear: our Heavenly Father DELIGHTS in you and wants you to live a life full of happiness and desires to spend all of eternity with you in Heaven! No matter your past or your faults, you are precious in His sight. If you or someone you love struggles with this affliction, please share this video with them. ❤️
