Word and Life May 2021 Online Series: Psychotherapist David Richo explores
Wholeness and Holiness
How to be Sane, Spiritual, and Saintly
(listen to free podcasts on this page)
…
Dr. Richo’s recent book, Wholeness and Holiness, guides us through a three-step journey to psychological soundness, spiritual wholeness, and saintly holiness. We have body-minds that can be psychologically healthy, but it is up to us to nurture this process. When we do, we feel wholesome, body and mind. We have spiritual consciousness, but it is up to us to be aware of it and act in accord with it. When we do, we feel whole, body and mind. We are imprinted with a calling to sanctity, and yet, it is up to us to be open to its heroic demands. When we do, we feel joyously full of grace, body and mind. The goal throughout this journey is to attain both wholeness and holiness. For this to be achieved, a person must work at all three.
David Richo, PhD, MFT, is a psychotherapist, theologian, teacher, workshop leader, and writer who works in Santa Barbara and San Francisco California. He combines Jungian, poetic, and mythic perspectives in his work with the intention of integrating the psychological and the spiritual.
