Synopsis
Tabitha Yates knows firsthand the shadows that mental health struggles can cast, especially within a church setting. During a particularly dark period of her life, she found that the sanctuary she hoped would provide refuge often deepened her pain, leaving her feeling abandoned and unseen. Her own journey through depression, anxiety, and a suicide attempt has uniquely equipped her to understand and assist others who find themselves in similar situations, as well as to guide church leaders in providing meaningful support to their struggling members. Now, Yates works as a mental health advocate to combat common myths surrounding mental health and encourage unifying, healing dialogue within the Christian community.
In Jesus and Therapy, Yates combines insights from psychology, personal experience, and Scripture to offer practical steps for confronting and healing trauma. This book is a beacon for those who feel lost in their faith while grappling with mental health challenges. It provides pastors and faith leaders with the tools to approach these struggles with empathy and understanding, while additionally serving as a valuable resource for mental health professionals.
