  • How to Heal Your Approach to Confession (Stop the Anxiety)
    Nov 24 2025

    Do you approach confession with anxiety, feeling like you're about to be judged and condemned?

    In this episode, Catholic therapist Adam Cross, LMFT (#116623) unpacks how to heal an unhealthy, fear-based approach to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Drawing on insights from Father Jacques Philippe and reflecting on God's justice as restoration (not punishment), Adam helps listeners understand confession as a return to spousal love rather than a trip to the principal's office.

    Topics covered:

    • Why confession often feels like judgment instead of mercy
    • Understanding God's justice as restoration, not retribution
    • The spousal love context between Christ and the Church
    • Why God's forgiveness is available immediately when we sin
    • How to avoid the lie that "nothing matters until I get to confession"
    • Staying focused on God's mercy instead of our own weakness

    This is an invitation to approach the sacrament with peace, freedom, and trust in the Father's love.
