Christians deal with anxiety, just like anyone else. In fact, anxiety on the whole has been on the rise (can you guess why)?

But Christians have power to overcome anxiety that the world doesn’t have.

Most people wait longer than they should to get into therapy. Between the stigmas, the overwhelming feelings, and the logistical constraints, it’s easy to understand why people hesitate. And it’s probably true that a good portion of people leave therapy before they should. Problems like scheduling, payment, and the therapeutic relationship are often to blame. But what if you really enjoy going to therapy, and you’re not really sure if you need to quit?...

Most of the time I'm getting people into therapy, but what about when they stay too long? How do you know when it's time to be done?

I posted this yesterday and then flirted with French fries again last night. Pray for me! If you’ve wondered if food could be an idol (or addiction, or obsession, or....) this one is for you.

Issues with food are kind of like issues with s*x. They are both necessary for human life, but they can get you in a lot of trouble. My client who struggled with po*******hy and s*xual acting out told me his shame was greater than mine because everyone knows that s*xual sin is sin. I countered that I also carry shame and everyone can SEE my shame because of the size and shape of my body. ...

I'm done with the controlling relationship, the hot-cold, and the seductions that make me feel terrible afterward. I'm breaking up with food.

What are you excited about hearing on the podcast?

25/05/2021

I didn’t really know what I was missing for the first several years that podcasts were in existence. In fact, I really can’t recall how I started listening, but I believe it was in 2017. I had a toddler at that time, and I mostly listened to mom podcasts. Before long, I realized that podcasts were a mom’s best friend. They are ideal for anyone who is busy, actually....

“Time heals all wounds.” We know it’s a cliche, and we mostly think it has some truth (but not very much). It can be offensive to say it to someone in deep pain. And it implies that the wounded person does not have to do anything while waiting for the healing to come. Unfortunately, healing usually does happen over a period of time, sometimes very long and painful....

Does healing happen in an instant? Or is it a process? Sometimes it's both. The unexpected turbo boosts of grace are when God surprises you.

Honestly, I didn’t realize when I started this two part series about moms and emotions that it would be released the week before and after Mother’s Day! But here we are, I guess it’s appropriate timing. Many of us want to celebrate the wonderful older women in our lives. But some of us may be celebrating with a tinge of reservation or obligation....

https://soulgritresources.com/2021/05/11/moms-who-cry-pt-2/

You probably know moms who cry. If your mom cries when you try to talk about hard things, it could be very innocent--but what if it's not?

03/05/2021

I’m going to start out by saying, “Mom, I am not talking to you or about you.” I just need to make that disclaimer. You can imagine having a therapist in the family makes people a little edgy sometimes. But the truth is, I’m not analyzing my loved ones or trying to “therapize” them. What I am noticing, however, is a trend of emotional manipulation or sensitivity in moms....

https://soulgritresources.com/2021/05/03/moms-who-cry-part-one/

Moms who cry: Are moms of a certain age just really sensitive? Or is it emotional manipulation? It's more complex than you might think.

Well, it’s the last entry in our series about different Enneagram types in therapy. Today, finally, we get to talk about Type 6. And Sixes do go to therapy, so there is lots to talk about. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen that there is a little different nuance and skill needed for each type of personality that comes to therapy....

Enneagram Sixes in therapy with a Christian therapist learn to manage their anxiety and trust Jesus to meet their deepest needs for security.

Chances are, if you’re an Enneagram Five, you haven’t really considered therapy as a viable option for you. And if you’re a therapist reading this, you probably don’t have a lot of experience with treating Fives. There are some clear reasons for this. Today I’ll show you why Enneagram Fives in therapy can grow and how the Gospel impacts the strengths and weaknesses of the Type 5. ...

It’s possible that there are more Enneagram Fours in therapy than other numbers. I think this is because they actually like talking about feelings, having feelings, and agonizing over feelings. Whereas other personality types begrudgingly talk about feelings in therapy, Fours feel relief that there is finally a place that they can let it all out. Other types have limited experience and connection with their emotions, but Fours can tell you upfront what’s going on inside....

A drive for beauty, uniqueness, and intense feelings are all assets in the Kingdom of God. Christian therapists can help Fours get there.
