Trauma Healing for Christian Women - Regulate Emotions, Intrusive Thoughts, Nervous System, Anxiousness, Overthinking, EMDR

Today, Michelle talks about how to know when you may benefit by seeking out mental health counseling, what is helpful and not helpful for Christians to consider in choosing a therapist, and why its not a lack of faith if you are struggling.

Is God near when you are struggling mentally? How can you be closer to God in the middle of overwhelming emotions? Can you still make an impact while you're a work in progress?

In this episode, Michelle's daughter Megan jumps on the podcast to talk about what to do when you don't feel God, how to build a closer relationship to Him while managing your mental health, and if you can still walk in your purpose during those times.
