  • Balancing Faith and Mental Health

    Absolutely spot on. I haven’t seen/heard/experienced such well vocalized mental health insight that is paired with the Christian faith tradition.

  • A gentle voice of empathy, wisdom, and concern

    This has become one of my favorite podcasts, and I look forward to each episode. Fr. Makoul's approach to addressing questions is so gentle, real, empathetic. I find myself bursting into tears when listening because I feel his advice deeply, and it has been very positive for me. Thank you, Fr. Makoul, for first your empathy and second your sound and wise advice. I wish this podcast had more episodes!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

To Parent or Not to Parent
Q: What are the three parenting scenarios discussed and how can a parent avoid the pitfalls of the second and third scenarios?
The first scenario is ideal: parenting as a temporary, protective, and growth-oriented role with awareness that children will eventually leave. The second scenario involves becoming too comfortable and dependent on the presence of children, leading to identity loss when they depart. The third scenario is the most destructive, with parents operating without insight, causing ongoing pain for both generations; the remedy is self-work, implicit memory awareness, and intentional communication for healing.
When our Spouse doesn’t want Faith or Healing
Q: What should I do if my wife doesn't seem interested in faith, forgiveness, or healing?
Continue to live your faith consistently at home with peace and respect, focusing on deeds over words, and allow space for her to come to faith at her own pace; also work on empathy and open, non-confrontational communication to slowly rebuild trust.
Finding Normal Again after Trauma
Q: How can I put this in the past and move on without worrying about so many things?
It is essential to recognize that healing is a process that requires time and the willingness to engage in life again.
Finding Normal Again after Trauma
Q: What treatment can help because it feels like I relive the trauma?
Father Joshua suggests cognitive processing and therapy techniques that address implicit memories and physical trauma responses.
Finding Normal Again after Trauma
Q: How can I heal from a traumatic memory that has created a heightened fear in me?
Healing involves engaging with self-compassion, understanding the impact of trauma, and possibly exploring treatments like EMDR.
