The Catholic Couch
Where Faith Meets Psychology—and Real Life Gets a Little Lighter
Welcome to The Catholic Couch, the official podcast of the Catholic Counseling Institute, where Catholic faith and modern psychology meet in a way that’s honest, hopeful, and actually helpful.
Hosted by Catholic therapist, wife, and mom Amber Pilkington, LPC-S, each episode tackles the real struggles Catholic women and families face—from anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and ADHD to parenting, marriage, burnout, and boundaries. You’ll hear research-backed insights, Catholic theology, Saint stories, and relatable humor that speaks to your everyday life (yes, even that moment in the kitchen when everyone needs you at once).
This isn’t therapy. It’s soul-level support when you’re feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you “should be fine.” It’s where we get real about what it means to love deeply without losing yourself, to raise kids in a post-Christian world, and to find peace in your vocation—even when it’s loud, messy, or hard.
What You Can Expect:
- Psychology explained in plain English (with compassion and a few laughs)
- Catholic truth without shame or sugar-coating
- Practical tools, spiritual depth, and stories that help you feel less alone
Whether you’re folding laundry, driving to school pickup, or just need to breathe—you’re always welcome on the couch.
🛋 Pull up a seat. This is your place to rest, learn, and be reminded: You are not alone.

Let The Stations of the cross heal your attachment wounds
EPISODE 1: Let The Stations Of The Cross Heal Your Attachment Wounds
There are so many wonderful meditations on The Stations of The Cross, but as I was praying them at church I kept thinking that they focused on the outward experience. I kept being drawn to the inner experience, the "relational experience", of each Station. So I went to prayer, opened my psychology books and created this feminine compliment. I hope it blesses you!
