We Thirst: Christian Reflections On Addiction - Session 2: Psychology

  • Saint Nicholas of Tolentine 910 Watkins Street Philadelphia, PA, 19148 United States (map)

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27

We are all made in the image and likeness of God. So why is it often so difficult to see that image within ourselves and others? Session two explains the psychological defenses that we all use to cope with or avoid pain and the ways substances further confuse our already complicated personalities and behaviors. We’ll be encouraged to remove our masks, let our guards down, and let the image of God within shine forth for all to see and know. Session two introduces the virtue of empathy, to help practice seeing through the eyes of another.
