tips from a therapist (who loves Jesus) | On Water Podcast Ep. 47

In this episode of the On Water Podcast, I share three mental health tips as a psychotherapist who loves Jesus and wants faith and psychology to integrate well. First, in conflict, I practice clarifying intent while also correcting behavior, so I can extend grace and still set boundaries. Second, when I struggle with identity or low self-esteem, I ask where the belief started—often in childhood—and do the deeper work of uprooting lies, forgiving, and grounding my identity in Christ. Third, for anxiety and “what if” thoughts, I follow the thought to the end to find safety, and I calm my body through silence, solitude, prayer, and rest.
