  Speaking of ... 'The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety'

  Aug 26, 202625 min

  Catherine DiNuzzo, a licensed professional counselor, author and founder of Sacred Heart Mental Wellness, encourages shifting the conversation from "mental health" to proactive "mental wellness," integrating evidence-based strategies with a Catholic perspective rather than separating counseling from faith. She also explains the biology of anxiety as a fight/flight/freeze response and how understanding the brain helps people stop self-bullying and break the "hamster wheel" of being anxious about their anxiety. The discussion highlights bringing the Lord into anxious moments, advocating self-care and boundaries modeled on Jesus in Scripture and encouraging parishes to talk about mental wellness through training.
