What is it Like Going to Therapy? Sideris Church Counselor-In-Residence Peter Carlson Answers Some Big Questions

I have a little Mental Health Monday for you, and was able to chat with Peter Carlson, a counselor at Sideris Church, and wow—what a great convo! We talked about why professional counseling is so valuable (hint: it's deeper and more confidential than venting to a friend). Peter shares how counseling isn’t just for tough times—it’s a great tool for growing, healing, and even preventing future struggles. We touched on big topics like anger, identity, and forgiveness, and he gave super practical advice—like checking your thoughts by asking: Is this true? Is it helpful? Is it kind?We also explore how Christian counseling brings in the Holy Spirit as part of the journey. So encouraging! Mental health matters, and you're not alone—there’s so much hope and help out there. 💛
