When Faith Meets Therapy with Anthony Evans Jr and Stacy Kaiser

To heal well, we need to feel it well. By allowing ourselves to process and experience our emotions correctly, we are actually positioning ourselves at a place of strength, not weakness. When pushing away and attempting to escape emotions, oftentimes it will lead us to avoiding the good emotions as well. Stacy and Anthony in this final episode address confronting feelings and advocating for emotional freedom by being honest and facing our feelings head on. By doing this, we experience the joy that is meant for us on the other side.You can learn more and pick up a copy of When Faith Meets Therapy at  https://whenfaithmeetstherapy.com/Get the professional, faith-based counseling that you deserve.

Emotions don't always have intellect. Sometimes, they become the engine of our thought patterns telling us that we are not enough. When in fact, truth says we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. We run into danger when we tie the areas needing work or others views of ourselves to our being and identity. Stacy and Anthony share the power of not compromising value and reassure that you can love the value of who you can become, even if it's not where you are now.

Hurt people who don't do the work to heal, hurt people. Often times, they can't help themselves but none the less, the hurt that is inflicted is still the same. When we hold onto unforgiveness and resentment, it often affects our physical and mental health. In turn, it causes us to miss out on freedom and joy. In order to be free, we must assess our own behaviors to find the source of our emotions and give others space for change. Forgiveness doesn't give us permission to forgo our boundaries and fall back into areas where we can be hurt. However, Stacy and Anthony discuss this topic using practical tools. They candidly discuss how compassion along with boundaries can lead us down a vital path to healing and growth.  You can learn more and pick up a copy of When Faith Meets Therapy at  https://whenfaithmeetstherapy.com/ Get the professional, faith-based counseling that you deserve.

Some of us have allowed ourselves to be connected to people who don't carry their share of the weight. And in turn, we are the ones who end up getting injured. We should invest our time and energy in people who have our backs. That doesn't mean we don't reach out to troubled people. However, we are not called into deep relationships with dysfunction. Stacy and Anthony cover the seven keys to healthy relationships encouraging us that these require maintenance and investment, but with the right people it's more than worth it.  You can learn more and pick up a copy of When Faith Meets Therapy at  https://whenfaithmeetstherapy.com/ Get the professional, faith-based counseling that you deserve.

Toxic people are everywhere, it's not necessarily your fault. For some of us, craving relationships so deeply can lead to ignoring the warning signs until it is too late. Subsequently, we are trapped because of our compromise. Truth is, people only change as they truly desire change, and toxic people rarely believe they need to change. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as perfection in relationships, friendships, families, or careers. But we also need to make sure that we are caring for ourselves—especially when we are dealing with those who are not caring for us.
