Spiritual Paradigms and Mental Wellness

In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, I welcome Joe Masterleo, an experienced professional in the mental health field. They discuss Joe's career journey, experiences and views on the unity of religious faiths, spirituality, and the theory of relativity. The conversation touches on the importance of having an open-minded approach in therapy, mainly when dealing with clients' resistance and anxiety. They also explore the connections between consciousness, vibrational frequency, mental health, and the healing process. The discussion highlights the profound influence of nature on personal well-being and the therapeutic process. Joe shares valuable insights and his personal experiences, providing listeners with a deeper understanding of these intricate subjects.

Joseph C. Masterleo, LCSW-DCSW, is a clinical social worker in private practice in Syracuse, NY and Rockledge, FL. His half-century of service in the mental health care field includes faith-based counselling, with an emphasis on psycho-spiritual integration. His subspecialty involves developing a novel paradigm for synthesizing science, religion, and psychology, identifying the energy and geometric patterns that connect the quantum world with space-time. His model explains how spirit and matter can co-exist as two facets of one reality in a unified field, dissolving the partition walls between previously siloed disciplines. Inspired by the writings of Thomas Merton (ecumenism), Teilhard de Chardin (synthesis), Thomas Berry (ecotheology), and others, his objective is to tell a new, future-looking story for the Ecozic Age, one that forms a connecting bridge between the biblical story of creation, modern science, and ancient cosmologies.
