Podcasts about soul care house

There's no question- students are suffering from anxiety at an alarming and unprecedented level. What do we do, as adults who care for them? How can we respond? And, in what ways are we the ones contributing to their anxiety? This episode is an important one. We believe every student deserves the opportunity to construct a meaningful life for themselves, but we know that they will be severely undercut if they can't thrive throughout their teenage years and get lost in the fog of anxiety. We invited Matt Bishop, LMFT, on the podcast this week to share his thoughts and expert point of view. -------- About Matt: Matt Bishop is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works at Soul Care House in Mission Hills.

Remember when we thought the majority of the stress and strain of the pandemic was behind us? Well, now we're headed into summer and still carrying all of the stress and anxiety from the past two (plus) years. As Charlie says in the episode, "In the past couple years, what we have seen is the amount of intensity and complexity in our world and our country go sky high. And when the amount of complexity and intensity goes sky high, our nervous systems feel that in the form of more fight energy (like anger, frustration, irritation), more flight energy (fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety), or more freezy energy (like overwhelm or collapse). "I don't want to do anything", they might say. They feel lethargic and have low energy. When we're talking about our kids, what we would expect is that their nervous systems are now having to process and deal with a massive increase in complexity and intensity."

Leeana and Elaine Hamilton, founder and director of the Soul Care House therapy practice in San Diego, talk about life after loss. The good, the bad, the ugly, and — of course — the manic painting episodes. (This conversation was originally recorded in June).

I’ve discovered that therapy—good therapy—is something that everyone needs. Especially if you’re in leadership. In this episode, I speak with Elaine Hamilton, founder of a therapy group in San Diego called the Soul Care House. Elaine helps to demystify therapy for us. What is it? Why is it important? Why do leaders, especially, need good therapy?THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Elaine Hamilton is founder of the Soul Care House and author of Church on the Couch.Elaine grew up in a German Mennonite community in Canada. They had a very rigid way of living their lives, but they also were very committed to doing good in the world.Good therapy involves sitting with someone who is trained, but who is also on their own journey toward wholeness.The therapist should be leading the process.Bad therapy can include any of the following: Too passiveToo directiveStates the obviousNo boundariesWhen the therapist talks too much about themselvesLeaders often have a hard time being vulnerable enough to truly care for their own souls.Spiritual leaders are constantly hearing people’s stories. Because of their position, leaders have the potential for wounding people in ways that others wouldn’t.Leaders need to become aware of their own stories.As leaders, it’s also helpful to be able to process current circumstances so that we can deal with them in a healthy and helpful way.The spiritual life isn’t merely about intellectual content (e.g. theology, Bible verses). It’s also about how we live in the world and in relation to other people.Psychology and therapy is a gift from God in that the tools of psychology help us to better understand ourselves.The Soul Care House website is www.soulcarehouse.com.
