I was connected with Dr. Greg Bottaro and CatholicPsych Institute through our mutual friend, Simone Rizkallah, who I had on the show a few months ago. Find the episode here! It was great to speak with him. I am a big admirer of what CatholicPsych Institute is doing and the approach that Dr. Greg is taking. We get into that quite a bit in this relatively short episode. I hope that you enjoy it and I hope it inspires you! I was certainly edified and strengthened in my conviction to continually renew the pursuit of integrating faith, reason, and science!SummaryDr. Greg Bottaro is a Catholic psychologist who emphasizes the integration of faith, reason, and science in understanding and helping individuals find true healing and wholeness. He believes that there should be no tension or conflict between these three categories, as they all point towards the same truth - God. Dr. Bottaro's Catholic Psych Institute offers a certification program that combines faith, reason, and science to help individuals bear emotional burdens and facilitate healing. The program is open to licensed therapists, psychologists, teachers, parents, and even priests. The institute provides remote services worldwide, utilizing technology to focus on the spoken word and the core of the person. Dr. Greg Bottaro discusses the need for a Catholic approach to psychology and mental health. He explains that current psychology programs are often secular and do not integrate Catholic principles. Dr. Bottaro's certification program aims to fill this gap by providing therapists with a Catholic foundation and an integrated approach to mental health. He emphasizes the importance of integrating faith and reason in understanding the human person. Dr. Bottaro also discusses the limitations of current research and the need for a Catholic standard of mental health.Takeaways* Faith, reason, and science are interconnected and should be integrated in understanding and helping individuals.* There should be no tension or conflict between faith, reason, and science, as they all point towards the same truth - God.* The Catholic Psych Institute offers a certification program that combines faith, reason, and science to help individuals bear emotional burdens and facilitate healing.* The program is open to licensed therapists, psychologists, teachers, parents, and even priests.* The institute provides remote services worldwide, utilizing technology to focus on the spoken word and the core of the person.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, reads Chapter 1 from the Endow Study Guide on Pope Paul VI's encyclical Of Human Life (Humanae Vitae).The key message of this document is understanding the inseparable dependency of authentic love and truth in human relationships. This is Pope Paul VI's long-awaited and controversial encyclical explaining the beauty of marriage and the sanctity of human life within that bond. This study is important because it addresses many questions modern Catholics have battled in today's culture dealing with human love in relationships. It is an important topic to discuss and a great resource in understanding why the Church so strongly guides us towards honoring our dignity within intimate relationships and God's very hand in procreation.To learn more about hosting an Endow Study on Humanae Vitae, please visit: https://www.endowgroups.org/study-guide-of-human-life-humanae-vitae/Support the Endow PodcastWhat's on your mind and heart?

Questions Covered: 09:18 – During the period we're suffering with Christ, he reveals beautiful things to us. He has revealed to me a small prayer. 13:54 – Suffering is what drew me towards the Catholic faith and away from Protestantism. 16:18 – My wife and I separated for about 3.5 years and there was a lot of suffering involved. I was the cause of it. I went to confession. I look at it as the 3.5 years was a sort of penance as I went through a lot of growth in that time. We got back together after that time. 21:39 – I had an experience about 13 years ago where my finger was partially amputated. I decided to offer up my suffering for my husband who wasn't Catholic.
