Catholic Therapist Reacts to Obsession: Consent, Sin & Free Will

Listen Later

What if the scariest part of a horror movie isn't the monster, but the isolation?

In this episode, Catholic therapist Adam Cross, LMFT (#116623) reviews the horror film "Obsession" and unpacks what it reveals about consent, codependency, and what it truly means to love.

Topics covered:

  • The Twilight Zone episode that echoes Obsession's premise
  • Why no character in the film is fully consenting to what happens to them
  • Consent, free will, and mortal sin in Catholic moral theology
  • Codependency vs. real love
  • Becoming free to give ourselves as a gift
  • The devil's lie that God doesn't care

    • Even in suffering, we are never without choice, support, or God's presence.
