In this powerful third installment of Pasta with Our Pastor, Fr. Nareg Terterian explores the vital role of the Holy Spirit in supporting emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and relational transformation—especially in the aftermath of trauma and insecure attachment. Building on the themes of Christian identity and spiritual growth from previous sessions, this talk weaves together theology, psychology, and practical wisdom. Fr. Nareg reflects on the Holy Spirit not only as Counselor and Comforter but also as a therapeutic presence that nurtures co-regulation, integration of fragmented experiences, and emotional maturity. He introduces key psychological concepts, such as emotional dysregulation, and discusses treatments like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), highlighting the life and work of Dr. Marsha Linehan. With heartfelt personal stories, pastoral insights, and profound spiritual reflection, this session offers a unique and grace-filled perspective on the intersection of faith and mental health. Listeners are invited to consider how practices like radical acceptance, mindfulness, and breath prayer can help cultivate peace and resilience, with the Holy Spirit as their faithful companion.
