Podcasts about therapy thursday

What if what broke your heart was actually God breaking you free? Sometimes His "no" isn't punishment... it's protection.

Send us a textIt's Therapy Thursday and Season 5 begins!Season five opens with honesty, tears, and a surprising kind of joy. We step straight into the heart of grief and come out with tools you can use: how to honor good memories after a painful divorce, how to receive support you couldn't accept years ago, and how stillness can surface the truths that keep you stuck. You'll hear a mother reflect on the loss of her son and what changed when she stopped managing pain and let herself feel it. Together, we map the shift from anger to acceptance and the freedom of letting two truths stand side by side.We also explore the idea of “faith in the fire.” Whether your language is God, Spirit, or simple presence, the fire can be the safest place to stand still and grow. We share practical ways to sit in the heat—breathing, journaling, community witness—so fear loosens its grip and meaning emerges. That same openness shapes our approach to healing at scale: a live, multi-generational conference that weaves spoken word, music, dance, guided meditation, journaling, skin care as self-respect, and trauma-release movement. The arts aren't decoration; they are proven ways to regulate the nervous system and unlock what words alone can't reach.Parents and educators will find plenty here too. We challenge the myth that quiet equals learning and offer simple shifts for kids who think better in motion or speak answers before they write them. With stories of confidence-building, one-on-one support, and learning through creativity, we make a case for classrooms—and homes—that honor different brains. And threaded through everything is gratitude: the daily choice that slows time, deepens connection, and makes space for legacy without clinging to it.If this conversation moves you, follow along for more stories, practical tools, and guest insights this season.

If we're not careful, we'll keep allowing the waves of memories to crash into our mood which soaks our personality in paranoia or regret. No longer will we allow mental torment to rob us of peace!

Is it that you've truly outgrown that person, place or thing or is it an old mindset that you're refusing to confront? Before you blame them, make sure you confront you.

We're diving into biblical strategies to reclaim your worth, restore your voice, and stand strong in your God-given identity. No more people-pleasing or shrinking. Just truth, healing, and powerful affirmations that help walk in the power of your purpose.

Exhaustion, many times, is tied to us not knowing what isn't our problem to fix. Heartbreak is imminent when you're trying to cure what only an encounter with Jesus can heal.

Sometimes what we crave is connected to our past pain, not our present purpose. It's critical that we detox from what fed our brokenness and align our taste with freedom, healing, and victory. When your appetite changes, so does your atmosphere!

When you try to coerce someone to fund your purpose, you're likely a parasite. But when you think it's your job to emotionally and mentally finance everyone else's purpose, you're likely a host. Are you a hosting relationships God didn't give you permission to entertain?

Yes it hurt, but what did you learn from it and how did you transform it into wisdom?

In order to break the repetitiveness of the same pain cycling through your life, it's going to require intentionality because nothing changes if nothing changes.
