Therapy and Theology

S7 E5 | Am I Trying To Control What Is Actually out of My Control?


Listen Later

When you have experienced heartbreak or betrayal, it’s hard not to fall into thought spirals. You may find yourself bracing for impact as you think: If this worst-case scenario happened in the past, when will something else bad happen again?

But if we’re honest … So many times, we spiral in our thoughts about things we can’t control.


In this episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel will help you see that even when you're spiraling, you may feel powerless but you have choices you can make to find your way forward.
