Habits to Cultivate Sooner: Silence and Solitude

One of my all-time favorite guests returns today with the most heartening, hopeful possibilities for the outcomes of our deepest trauma. Adam Young is a therapist who specializes in story work, a therapeutic approach that has helped me understand my own good/hard story in order to become who I want to be. It has changed my life and I think it can do the same for you.

Our conversation covers the common traits of people who become better instead of bitter after heartbreak, making sense of God’s place in our hard stories, and the spiritual practice of praying your feelings. There is healing for you in this hour—I guarantee it.
