Show Notes
In this episode, I’ll share why having a therapist who truly understands and honors your Catholic faith can be so meaningful. After all, our faith isn’t just a small part of our lives—it shapes who we are in the deepest way possible. But, I also get that finding a Catholic therapist isn’t always easy, especially if you live in a small state or a remote area. So, I’ll talk about practical ways to navigate that, including working with secular therapists when needed and when to be extra mindful. Plus, I'll be sharing some exciting news. Have questions?
