In this episode mental health specialist and Vicar, Dr. Sharon Smith, explains how we infuse protection and preventative care into our mental health by the giving and receiving of friendship. Whether or not we’re diagnosed with a mental health concern, all of us move between emotional flourishing and languishing. When we are “known” by another, a quality of relationship Dr.Smith describes in her conversation, our patterns of thinking can be safely and lovingly challenged. And this can make the difference in how we thrive.
