Welcome to Psyched Catholic!
We are glad you found us. It is our sincere hope that Psyched Catholic will be a home for you to explore the intersection between Catholicism and psychology. We believe that psychology has so many positive benefits to offer Catholics, but we also believe that actively participating in the life of faith can benefit our psychological and emotional well-being. Psyched Catholic will be a place where you can learn more about various psychological topics and how they relate to the Catholic faith. We desire to be a site where you can feel comfortable asking difficult questions, trusting that you will receive answers that are both faithful to Church teaching and rooted in solid empirical evidence. Here at Psyched Catholic we would also love to hear about your experiences with mental health topics and how faith may have been a part of that experience.
As we grow we will continue to add resources for lay people, psychology students and mental health professionals, and for clergy. These resources will include Church documents and statements relevant to the mental health field, articles and videos on various psychological topics, practical tips for dealing with congregants or loved one’s with mental disorders, book reviews, and links for finding Catholic mental health professionals in your area. If you find or possess resources that have helped you in some way or you think may benefit others please share them with us!
We are excited to begin this journey with you all and hope that Psyched Catholic provides opportunities and conversations that will deepen our faith and help us all to become more whole human beings. Hope you enjoy!
