250 Made for Relationship featuring Kenna Millea

AMDG. Clinical Director and Co-Founder of the Martin Center for Integration and host of This Whole Life podcast Kenna Millea joins the Kolbecast to discuss the ins and outs of relationships under a Catholic lens. “If you don’t like relationships here,” Kenna comments. “I think heaven’s going to be a big bummer— because that’s what it’s going to be.”   Kenna offers her expert insight into common challenges in family dynamics, from the relationship between the spouses to how parents interact with children.  She unpacks how our relationships with others can impact our relationship to God and how the sacraments can impact our social life. Kenna shares her advice for those interested in pursuing a career in Catholic therapy and explains the differences among the types of mental health fields. Finally, Kenna suggests a selection of mental health books for families looking to strengthen their relationships with one another and build a happy, holy home.  Links mentioned & relevant:  The Martin Center for Integration  Hold Me Tight by Sue Johnson  The Whole Brain Child and other books by Dr. Daniel J.
