I had a therapist who told me a very profound truth about faith and depression. I had repeated the falsehood that “if you have enough faith, you will be healed of your depression”. She simply responded, “Janice, people who carry the cross of depression are some of the most faithful people in the world. They carry on without light, joy and peace of mind.” I’ve thought of this idea often since then. I’ve come to understand that sometimes He calms the sea and other times He calms the sailor. It’s been nearly 21 years since I was smacked with post partum depression. It got easier to think clearly and enjoy life. I still have struggles that take all my faith and skills to get through. Learning coping strategies really helped. When I’m in the darkness I reach out for His hand and He guides me through.

“We’re never walk without a limp.” So well phrased.

I really enjoyed this message. I often just say 'I'm doing well', but am I really? How many things am I holding inside that will come out in my behavior somehow? Praise the Lord for his Holy Spirit who walks with us through a lifetime of sanctification.

Debra your explanations and vulnerability are so spot on, I know exactly what you went through and how unbelievably lost one can feel. We forget that instead of telling people what to do in times of crisis we need to be there and help carry their burdens. We are to be 'church' for them, it would help more just to be there than to preach prayer or medication. Thanks again for being vulnerable and open so that others can learn. God bless Jim and company may His grace envelope you daily.

Yes transference is a real thing and I took it out on those around me for years until I realized I was only hurting myself. I had to forgive them in order to find the peace I so badly needed.

She is a a stellar phycologist!!! I have related to her immensely!

How did you know I needed to hear this? This interview has brought so much healing to my soul.

Debra is just amazing! I will listen to anything she has to say!!!

Me too. I cannot afford counseling or pharmaceuticals. Is that the only way to a healthy life of spiritual peace?

Thank you for this channel! It has helped me grow spiritually and emotionally. At the end of the podcast, Debra is talking about a sermon from Jon Courson. I would love to listen to it, is there a link?

I love this, but we are created in His image. That means we are more spiritual beings that need more of His presence and to me if you have a panic attack that means you have too much on your plate. He doesn't expect us to do it all, but He also wants us to rely solely on Him not pharnekia or man. I do agree counseling is necessary for trauma and ptsd etc. But I also believe that we need to be set free with deliverance from these strongholds like depression, anxiety etc. Some will not understand what I am saying because they have only been fed half the gospel. I used to think I needed to seek counselor until I was actually delivered from demons like anxiety, depression and trauma. It's a process and you have to continue to walk in that deliverance, but please don't exclude deliverance from this healing care.🕊🙏

32:00 when she was talking about when someone is going through cancer to step by their side and encourage them, well I tried that and it completely backfired on me. So now I don’t talk about the Lord around my brother. When I see him we are cordial with one another but I stay in my world he stays in his world.

Feelings of dread is an actual symptom of an impending heart attack. If you look around and there’s nothing to dread, call your doctor. After you’ve had a heart attack you cry endlessly because your whole body is suppressed (and I believe it is the guttural prayer). No one tells you this after the heart attack so we need to avoid putting that sorrow on someone else, it’s literally your whole body has just been traumatized and it isn’t anyone’s fault….not even yours.

I am about to be divorced from a violent, toxic man who has turned his abuse from me to my children. I have a daughter who has repeatedly abused by him. Time and time again I have acquired orders of protection (op's) however, this last time the new caseworkers and investigators have decided that the abuse is not significant enough to press charges or to hold him accountable. What in the world? How is my daughter supposed to heal if she is continually forced to endure the same abuse "because there isn't enough evidence to convict". Note: she has a counselor at a Biblically sound service but, she doesn't force her to talk about her past or even what has happened within the last 6 months. How is she to heal?
