Jake and Bob bring on fellow podcast host & Catholic psychology leader, Dr. Peter Malinoski. Dr. Malinoski is a clinical psychologist and the president and co-founder of Souls and Hearts. In this episode, Dr. Malinoski talks about the different “parts” of ourselves and the process of getting those parts into a more perfect unity. This process will help us to live the Greatest Commandment more fully because when we love ourselves, we can love our neighbor more fully.

Key Points

• We have many different “parts” of ourselves that we need to try to bring in to more perfect unity

• Sin fragments us

• The role of a therapist in helping us become more unified

• Turning to love in the face of challenges

• The process of integrating a “part” of ourselves  into the whole

• Building a better relationship with our self

• Working through self-hatred
