Thanks for sharing this. I think behavioral analysts are one of those under-appreciated domains that people need, but don't know that they actually need. One of the surprising things I observed over the years is humans seeming total willingness to adopt behaviors that are rooted predominantly on markers and measurements they didn't even sign up for. Call it psychology of the masses, call it whatever else---but the need for collective judgment sometimes even cloud their better judgment. And yet--the few who realize this, and fight for ownership of thought, faith, and beliefs--these are those who make me believe in the unbreakable spirit of the broken. Your writing is a wonderful reminder of this. :)

“Also, if I were to write as a representative for all Christians, I would be facing the sad reality of how Christians are not united.”
This reality has haunted me more and more this year. I appreciate your candor in how you’ve described your position and desire. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you brother. As Peter Kreeft says, “when a maniac is at the door, feuding brothers reconcile.” Holy Spirit come and make us one. We cannot without His grace.

I’m glad to have found your article . I’m also a practicing catholic and a bcba here in Virginia. I always feel isolated and many times have conflicting sentiments between my passion for my profession and my faith. You put into words my thoughts and most of all you recommend good podcasts and writers to follow. I’m a fan of Viktor Frankl, Peter Kreeft , JP2 , and lately of DVH. There’s also catholic psychiatrist podcast that i listen called optimalwork by Dr. Kevin Majeres. Thank you for all you do !

Thank you, Thalia. I wish we had a greater appreciation for the power of our context in how it can help or hinder our free will in action.
