Episode #63: The Undivided Heart: Catholic Parts Work with Jared Schiemer Listen HERE. He interviews Jared Schiemer, a certified life coach trained in IFS-informed parts work, who explains how he discovered the modality through somatic-based sessions, therapy, and training with IFS founder Dr. Richard Schwartz, describing it as faster and more experiential than traditional talk therapy. Jared outlines core IFS concepts (Self and parts such as managers, firefighters, and exiles), emphasizes “No Bad Parts,” and discusses regulation, validation, and meeting needs to reduce shame, compulsions, anger, and relapse risk. They address Catholic compatibility through Scripture and Dr. Gerry Crete’s Litanies of the Heart Book and the Souls and Hearts Community, then announce a 16-week Catholic men’s group, The Undivided Heart.

Email Steve directly to get the Zoom link: steve@catholicsfightporn.com About Jared: Jared Schiemer is a certified Life Coach, trained through the Robbins-Madanes Training Center, with additional training in NLP, Human Needs Psychology, and IFS-informed Parts Work. He is a certified FOCCUS pre-marriage and marriage Facilitator and continues his study of Internal Family Systems through the Souls and Hearts Catholic community and IFS Institute. He is a graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville where he obtained a degree in Business Management and a minor in Psychology. At Franciscan, he deepened his Catholic faith, formed lifelong friendships, and strengthened his relationship with his now-wife, Claire, who is also a graduate of Franciscan University and now works as a mental health therapist and coach. He and Claire have been together for over 14 years, since high school, and have been married for the past seven years. Jared has also walked his own path through Parts Work, in both therapy and coaching, and experienced what it's like to watch emotions and triggers he'd carried for years dissolve rather than just get managed. That's why he does this work, he's not only trained in the method, he's lived what it can do. Jared brings a steady presence to men doing this work, meeting every part of themselves with curiosity and compassion. His coaching specialty is connection: helping clients reconnect to themselves, to the people they love, and to their God-given purpose. About the Undivided Heart Program: The Undivided Heart is a 16-week Catholic Parts Work group for men, co-facilitated by Steve O'Connor and Jared Schiemer. It is built for the Catholic man who has tried everything and is ready to go deeper. Rooted in IFS-informed Parts Work and Litanies of the Heart by Dr. Gerry Crete and fully integrated with the Catholic faith, the Undivided Heart helps men identify the wounded parts driving their behavior, build a relationship with those parts and lead with the innermost Self, and experience a kind of freedom that is not white-knuckled but real and tangible. Starting September 2026. Spots are limited for the group. To learn more or reserve your spot, email Steve: steve@catholicsfightporn.com Listen HERE. Join the Group HERE.

Termites don't announce themselves. That is the whole problem. They work quietly, invisibly, from the inside out. You walk across the floor every day and nothing seems wrong. Until one morning the floor gives way and you are hurt and standing in the damage wondering how you missed it. Secrets work exactly the same way: The lie you told two years ago. The acting out nobody knows about. The version of yourself you have been presenting to your wife, your kids, your friends, your priest, that...
Tonight. 8:00 PM Eastern. One hour. Free. The Undivided Heart Program information session is happening tonight on Zoom and if you have been on the fence about whether this is for you, this is the hour that answers that question. This will be an honest conversation about what Parts Work actually is, what the Undivided Heart Program is designed to do, and whether this group is the right next step for where you are in your recovery right now. Here is what Parts Work addresses that most recovery...
Today the Church celebrates the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A. Here's my reflection... First Reading, Isaiah 22:19-23God strips the unfaithful Shebna of his office and hands the key of the House of David to Eliakim. One man out, one man in, the authority entrusted and the office continuing. The Church must pair this reading with today's Gospel deliberately. Eliakim is the steward of David's household carrying the key on his shoulder. Peter is the steward of the new David's household...
