What does it look like to integrate mental health and faith?

My guest today brings her knowledge, experience, and passion to answer this question. Ashley McFarland is a trauma trainer, psychotherapist and co-founder of the Pineheart Center. Throughout her time in child welfare, nonprofits, the school system, and a detention center, she gained insight into the ways trauma shapes our brains.

In this conversation, we explore why it’s important to build connection and safety with an individual before trying to encourage behavior changes, how the Bible connects with neuroscience and healing, and much more. Ashley’s insights are so eye-opening for Christians who want to understand evidence-based mental health treatment models, and the hope and healing these methods can bring, through a biblical lens.
