Therapy can be a great tool BUT it is a decision that should not be taken lightly. In this video I share why I would be hesitant about it and why I would be in favor of it. I also share three major lessons that I personally learned from my recent sessions and am always working on. I would love to hear your feedback on any of your own experiences with therapy!

3 Reasons Why I Would Be Hesitant About Therapy
1 - When it’s simply not effective or deep enough to get under the layers
2 - When therapy is the loudest voice & replaces our relationship with God
1 John 5:22 Do not let anything take Gods place in your heart
1 John 2:27 The Holy Spirit teaches us everything we need to know
3 - Trusting someone’s advice that is not in line with God’s will could lead to bad choices, worldly wisdom often contradicts biblical wisdom
3 Reasons Why I Would Be In Favor Of Therapy
1 - With the right person, it can be transformational, revelatory, and liberating
2 - It is a direct opportunity to cultivate humility, one of Jesus’ biggest traits
Proverbs 22:4 True humility and fear of the Lord leads to riches honor and long life
Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes but a wise man listens to advice
Psalm 26:2 Put me on trial, cross examine me, test my motives and my heart
3 - Having access to an unbiased trusted professional opinion during a heavy or shifting season of life is priceless and offers new tools to work with
Proverbs 8:11 Wisdom is more precious than rubies
3 Impactful Lessons / Themes I Took From My Recent Sessions
1 - Questioning the root of my emotional triggers and compulsive habits

3 - Having more compassion & patience with people who stress me out
