Episode 301: Habits of a Whole Heart with Arnie Herz and Dr. Orly Calderon (Part 2)
In Part 2 of Habits of a Whole Heart on hmTv, host Arnie Herz continues his profound conversation with Dr. Orly Calderon, Associate Professor of Psychology at Long Island University and Director of Assessment. Together, they explore the psychological and spiritual dimensions of self-awareness, emotional resilience, and the power of choice.
Dr. Calderon explains how our subconscious filters — or “schemas,” as defined by Aaron Beck — shape the way we perceive the world, often trapping us in cycles of fear, bias, and fixed thinking. Through open dialogue, she and Arnie discuss how to pause, reframe, and reorient our thoughts to cultivate healthier emotional responses and more compassionate human connections.
The conversation flows seamlessly from cognitive behavioral therapy to biblical wisdom, touching on Noah’s story, Holocaust survival, Nelson Mandela’s resilience, and even pathways toward peace in divided societies.
This episode reminds us that while we can’t always control our circumstances, we can always choose how to respond — and that awareness, empathy, and hope are the true habits of a whole heart.
