from Thriving in Christ | Professional Women, High Level Habits, Resilience, Burnout, Stress, Grief · host Dr. Ioana Popa | Psychiatrist Educator, Executive Coach, Speaker & Spiritual Care Formation
Whether you're married or not, in a relationship or hope to be some day, we know that relationships don't come without their challenges. This week I had the privilege of interviewing Sophia Dykstra, who is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Addictions Counselor, and has been practicing for 15 years. Sophia enjoys working with couples and families, helping them heal and thrive. She truly finds great joy in the work she does and it is evident through our conversation in this episode. In this Renewal Conversation, Sophia and I talk about:🔅 The Gottman psychological research on couples and the "4 horsemen of the apocalypse" in relationships.🔅The right alignment and "order of operations" in a relationship that will help it thrive. 🔅 The importance of Rituals of Connection. The Bible Verse that guides Sophia is this: "But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine."
