- In this episode I explore some of the unhelpful (and frankly harmful) ways Christians have spoken about mental health. I share my own struggles, tools, and ways we can do better to support each other.
What are you favorite mental health tools?
Thank you from someone with Major depression/anxiety/ CPTSD/ and BPD. I was raised Lutheran and you are a wonderful Pastor ❤🙏
I really appreciate that!
Sirianna Asante for sharing🥰 During my dissertation write-up I had a similar episode. Horrible story. I do not wish sleep deprivation on anyone. The mental suffering transends any physical pain I ever experienced in my life. Luckily I was prescribed "Inner Engineering" by Sadhguru: The shared science of self-mastering was life-changing for me. I have successfully shared my acquired circadian discipline with a few sufferers. And I am aware of my BREATH. Self breathing is such a gift but we go around without a word of GRATITUDE to this miracle! Imagine if we had to remember to breath in and out😂😂😂😳
Wonderful, thanks for sharing! There are great tools out there to manage our mental health.
DID, CPTSD, BPD, anxiety, severe chronic depression here. The people of the church have treated me horribly. You don't have enough faith, you are full of demons and on and on. When I came out they really disappeared. I have had deliverance, soaking prayer and it has caused me to hate myself even more. It was during a sound bath in February when I finally realized that God loves me. 40 years in the church and I didn't even know God loved me. In The Chosen Jesus deals with Mary Magdalene in such a loving, compassionate way. It always makes me cry when I see it. His people have no clue, especially the evangelical church. They shoot their wounded. If I still lived in Bloomington I would seek your church out. Did you go to Byerlys? We used to go eat dinner there, eating their free samples. :)
Oh, I am so sorry! "They shoot their wounded"- what a powerful statement! I am so glad you have finally gotten a glimpse of that love because that love is real and so different than what we see in so many people. I never did go to Byerly's. Good luck to you know and I wish you well.
