What: Catholic Integrated Approach to Healing our Sexual Brokenness
Description:
Sexual Healing and Wholeness. The presentation will cover some of the key material from my recent book- Be Restored. The focus will be on the three measures of sexual wholeness as identified by St. John Paul II in the Theology of the Body. (Communion, Innocence, and Identity) and how sexual wounding of every kind breaks our capacity for communion resulting in disordered desires; leaving us bound in shame,; and distorting and wounding our identity (7 deadly wounds). I will then go through the healing process integrating therapy with Catholic spirituality.
