Why Christians Should Go to Therapy - and Talk About It! | Ep. 36

We’re back!!! In this episode, Adira’s friend Haley opens up about her lifelong struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). They discuss her early memories of the struggle, as well as the shame and secrecy that kept her bound for so long. Haley also addresses the church's hesitancy to address mental health, the tension of both pursuing freedom while acknowledging one’s current struggle, and the question of whether we ought to claim mental health issues as part of our identity.
