Episode 166: The Emotional Garden with Dr. Peace Amadi

Описание: In 2019, between 6-11% of US adults had symptoms of an anxiety or depressive disorder (CDC). By the end of 2020? Between 39 and 42% of US adults experienced anxiety or depression (Journal of Public Health).

We need help, and psychology professor and author Dr. Peace Amadi  is here to offer it. 

When should we call a therapist? Why should we? How can we walk with each other through this (if the therapist’s waiting list is 6-months long)? 

Let’s go, friends. No shame, no judgment, let’s just care for each other like Jesus cares for us.

“The absolute first step is just to pause and listen and name the pain….Whatever it is, it’s so important to name it. That can’t be overstated. Because when you name the pain, you basically tell yourself that it’s real and it deserves attention and that there’s something that your body, your mind, your psyche is trying to tell you.” -Dr. Peace Amadi
