Item description from seller

Paperback. Praying Through Our Lifetraps: A Psycho-Spiritual Path to FreedomPraying Through Our Lifetraps: A Psycho-Spiritual Path to Freedom by John J. Cecero, S.J., Ph.D. is a practical, integrative guide that combines Schema Therapy with Catholic Christian prayer, spirituality, and faith practices.Father Cecero, a Jesuit priest and clinical psychologist, draws from his therapy experience, workshops, and retreats to show how deep-seated, fear-based patterns--formed in childhood through family, peers, and life events--create ongoing struggles with relationships, self-worth, anxiety, depression, and freedom. He demonstrates that psychology alone is powerful, but adding prayer, contemplation, trust in God's love, and virtuous living (e.g., hope, forgiveness, humility) leads to deeper healing and flourishing. The book uses simple self-assessment questionnaires, real-life examples, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and spiritual practices to help readers identify their "lifetraps," confront fears, and move toward loving themselves, others, and God more freely.Written in an accessible, compassionate tone for laypeople, clergy, and those in spiritual direction or therapy, it emphasizes that faith provides courage and freedom where fear once dominated. It was influenced by events like 9/11, which heightened collective anxiety and exposed underlying vulnerabilities./ for more Catholic resourcesChapter Titles ForewordPrefacePart I: Lifetraps and the Power of PrayerLifetraps--from the BeginningPraying through LifetrapsPart II: Lifetrap Patterns and Psycho-Spiritual Recovery3.

Spiritual ReadingEpilogueGlossaryReferencesKey Bullet Points Lifetraps originate early -- Deep patterns form in childhood from biological factors (temperament, gender) and environmental experiences (parental responses, sibling/peer interactions, rejection, or overprotection); they shape adult fears, relationships, self-image, and behaviors.Fear vs. Freedom -- Lifetraps are rooted in fear; spirituality and prayer offer a path to freedom by confronting these patterns through God's everlasting love, courage, and grace.Psycho-spiritual integration -- Combines Schema Therapy techniques (identifying schemas via questionnaires, changing distorted thinking, practicing new behaviors, expressing suppressed emotions) with Catholic practices like prayer, meditation, contemplation, and virtues (hope, love, forgiveness, gratitude, humility).Specific lifetrap patterns addressed -- Includes fear of intimacy/rejection ("Don't Get Too Close"), dependency/incompetence ("I Can't Handle Life on My Own"), entitlement ("Me First!"), emotional deprivation ("Will Anyone Recognize My Needs?"), and unrelenting standards/overcontrol ("I Can't Slow Down").Prayer as a healing tool -- Prayer helps reframe fear-based beliefs, fosters trust in God, builds resilience, and complements therapy; readers learn to "pray through" their specific lifetraps.Practical strategies -- Self-assessments, cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, interpersonal practice (e.g., in therapy), and spiritual exercises; real examples illustrate recovery and growth.Support systems matter -- Guidance on when and how to seek professional counseling, spiritual direction, and spiritual rea Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
