42. Depression, Disordered Eating, & Spiritual Gaslighting: How To Improve Your Mental Health as a Christian with Freddie Amos, NCC, PLPC


Listen Later

Therapy can be such a valuable tool for improving our mental health, but without the incorporation of the Ultimate Counselor, it can’t be the ultimate solution.

If you’re ready to learn more about improving your mental health through the lens of a child of God rather than through the world, tune in, because today my special guest and I will uncover multiple aspects of moving toward God by letting go of the barriers that could be holding you back.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Freddie Amos, a counselor with Live Original (a ministry of Sadie Robertson Huff), about her decision to become a biblically-based counselor, as well as what faith-based counseling offers that secular counseling can’t. We’ll also touch on things like utilizing God as your ultimate counselor, addressing spiritual trauma, and handing over responsibility to God in order to submit to his callings for your life.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

📖 Differences in secular vs. biblical counseling

🗣 Shifting your focus from what you declare to what you believe about I AM

😳 Navigating spiritual gaslighting in recovery

⛪️ The impact Christian community can have on mental health

3️⃣ Three things that keep us from feeling near to God
