Has therapy quietly become the default answer to every kind of pain?

In this opening episode of the Confessions of a Therapist series, Jonathan Kindler steps inside the tension many people feel but rarely say out loud. Blending scripture, personal story, and lived clinical insight, Jonathan explores the difference between help and healing, why distress is not always dysfunction, and how modern culture may be asking therapy to carry weight it was never meant to hold.

Through biblical reflection and honest conversation, this episode examines how growth actually happens. Not just through insight, but through obedience. Not just through conversation, but through community. Jonathan also carefully addresses why many people lost trust in the church, while pointing toward God’s original design for soul care, formation, and restoration through the body of Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you need therapy, deeper relationships, spiritual formation, or some combination of all three, this episode invites you to slow down and ask a better question. What kind of care does this season of your life actually require?
