Demystifying Therapy with Lori Gottlieb

About this sermon

If you or anyone you know and love has ever had issues with their mental health, you know how painful it can be. As we conclude our “For the Love of Being Seen and Heard” series, we just want to remind you that there's no shame in admitting that you might need a little help. Maybe you’re feeling low, or more anxious than usual, or sad, scared, or just off—anything that feels different or keeps you from flourishing. Our guest today is here to encourage you to take agency over your mental health, and as a therapist herself, she’s here to help us shed those stigmas around seeking help from a therapist or counselor. Lori Gottlieb is a renowned psychotherapist, a bestselling author, and a leading voice in the mental health space. Her latest book Maybe You Should Talk To Someone leads us into her own experiences with the transformative power of therapy and gives answers to those who might have hesitations about beginning this process. Lori and Jen talk about: • Identifying the stereotypes about therapy and debunking them, plus what to expect so that you can a get the most out of your time with a therapist • Developing an attitude that mental health is just as important as physical help and that seeking a therapist is on the same level as getting a check up with a medical doctor toward whole body health • Jen’s personal experiences with therapy - and how she processed pain and betrayal, plus what it looks like to be in active recovery • Becoming aware of and taking responsibility for our own patterns, actions and responses to life events as it pertains to our mental state and interactions with others As Lori says, “one thing that therapy will teach you is how to be your real, messy, imperfect, fallible self, but also still love who you are.” * * * Thank you to our sponsors! ➤ BetterHelp | Visit betterhelp.com/forthelove to save 10% on your first month! ➤ FOCL | Visit https://focl.com/ and use code FORTHELOVE at checkout for 20% off of your purchase ➤ Jen Hatmaker BookClub | Visit jenhatmakerbookclub.com and use code READ at checkout $5 off your purchase! #ForTheLove #ForTheLovePodcast #JenHatmaker _________ CHECK OUT Resources Mentioned in This Episode: ➤ For the Love of Reconnecting Podcast episode- Rewriting the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Lori Gottlieb - https://bit.ly/44L1IKs ➤ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb - https://bit.ly/44QmuIw ➤ Aspen Ideas Festival - https://bit.ly/3Q1niGh ➤ Dear Therapist Podcast - https://lorigottlieb.com/podcast/ ➤ Guy Winch’s Ted Talk - https://bit.ly/3Q1fzYR ➤ Lori’s Atlantic Articles - https://www.theatlantic.com/author/lori-gottlieb/ ➤ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone Workbook - https://bit.ly/3JZWFh6 ➤ Maybe You Should Talk to Someone Journal - https://lorigottlieb.com/books/maybe-you-should-talk-to-someone-journal/ CONNECT with Our Guest! ➤ Website: https://lorigottlieb.com/ ➤ Facebook: https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2FLoriGottlieb1 ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lorigottlieb_author/ ➤ Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/GottliebLori/ ___ ➤ JEN HATMAKER BOOK CLUB - Join the sisterhood! https://jenhatmakerbookclub.com ___ WATCH more videos from Jen: ➤ For the Love of Small Wins series: https://bit.ly/FTLsmallwins ➤ For the Love of The Enneagram series: https://bit.ly/FTLenneagram ➤ Happy Hour: http://bit.ly/JensHappyHour ➤ Monday Mornings with Jen: http://bit.ly/MondayMorningsJen ___ CONNECT with Jen! ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenhatmaker ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ ➤ LIKE Jen on Facebook: https://facebook.com/jenhatmaker ➤ SUBSCRIBE NOW on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker?sub_confirmation=1 ➤ VISIT: http://jenhatmaker.com/ ___ For more “For the Love” . . . ➤ SUBSCRIBE on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastApple ➤ LISTEN on Spotify: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastSpotify ➤ HEAR IT on Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastStitcher ➤ LISTEN on iHeartRadio: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastiHeart
