SHOWNOTES
Mental health is the same as physical health – it is a bodily experience. That being said, we experience mental illness differently than a physical illness, because it comes to our mental health, it challenges our identity. It’s healthy to have emotions and feel them, because they’re part of our bodily experience. But how do we respond to them? How do we navigate them? How do we care for our minds well?
Today, Candace is joined by Dr. Anita Phillips to talk about mental health, and while this is a topic that many are afraid to talk about … it is a needed + valuable conversation.
Did you know that mental health and faith go hand in hand? Jesus has expressed his emotions in many ways throughout His life on earth. He never avoided them and never repented for them. Why? Listen in as Dr. Anita breaks it all down and clears the table on everything we think (and culture tells us) about mental health.
In this episode, you will hear Candace + Dr. Anita discuss:
- Why people are afraid to talk about mental heath
- The best place to start when seeking professional help for mental health
- The mental health crisis with teenagers, especially teenage girls
- Moments Jesus expressed his emotions (and when he needed a mental-break)
