30. Breaking Unhealthy Relationship Patterns: Trusting God with Your Relationships

Send us your thoughts through Fan MailHave you ever tried to 'manage' a relationship out of fear—fear of being rejected, fear of not being enough, or fear of being alone? In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to truly trust God with our relationships. We’ll gently explore how early experiences can shape the way we relate to others and how trying to control relationships often comes fear.You don’t have to carry the burden of keeping every relationship together. We can learn to release fear, let go of the need to be liked or in control, and instead walk in the peace that comes from placing people—and outcomes—into God’s hands. My hope is that this episode encourages your heart and reminds you that you can be healthy and that you can trust God with your relationships.Helpful Resources:Attachment Theory - https://www.simplypsychology.org/attachment.htmlBook - Hold Me Tight by Dr. Sue JohnsonBook - Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and John TownsendEpisode 19:  Forgiveness Episode 20:  GuiltSupport the showGet Healey's Books:  Changing Your Feelings - A Workbook for Anxiety and Worry  The Red Ball, A Story of Friendship and ForgivenessThe Companion Activity Book for The Red BallThe Worried Little Goat_______________________________For free Mental Health Resources:  Create an account on my website for unlimited resource access!  Click here to support the show*This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.  I approach scripture through the lens of a Christian licensed counselor, combining biblical insight with clinical understanding of emotional health.  It does not constitute professional advice or is intended to diagnose/treat any disorders and does not constitute a client-therapist relationship.   *Any links to specific resources or content (outside of my own) are not an endorsement of the entire website, author, organization, etc.  Their views may not represent my own.Healthy & Redeemed is a Christian mental health podcast blending Scripture, psychology, and coping skills.
