Catholic Psychiatrist & Medical Doctor, Dr. Luis Sandoval, encourages those who have a stigma against going to therapy to then turn to the saints. There is nothing wrong with going to therapy or visiting a doctor. Still, there are some people who think that therapy may not be for them. Dr. Luis Sandoval offers us a solution. By turning to the Saints of the Catholic Church, one can find advice or share stories to help bring peace of mind. There are thousands of Saints in the Catholic Church and we can find all kinds of related experiences from those who are closer to Christ then we are. Getting closer to Christ may not feel good at first but no one is cured from one therapy session, either.

Understanding yourself is the prerequisite for recognizing your worth. We are told time and time again that we have infinite value in God's eyes but we need to understand our strengths and offer up our weaknesses. We must be able to see ourselves the way God sees us.

How can this be when we are all individually and uniquely created by God? Dr. Sandoval wants to remind you that being you is enough to reach out to God. However, we can only truly know Him and ourselves by striving to live a sacramental lifestyle according to the Catholic Church. Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Is it worth it? Am I worth it?
