Episode 221: Ask A Therapist - Dealing with Fear

Fear is sneaky. It convinces us we’re a burden, keeps us stuck in people-pleasing, and even makes us question our faith. In today’s Ask a Therapist episode, I’m answering YOUR questions about:

• Getting out of the “I’m a burden” spiral
• How to navigate the tension between forgiveness and boundaries
• What it looks like to stop people-pleasing but still see others through Christ’s eyes
• Why therapy sometimes feels like it pulls people away from the Church

If you’ve wrestled with these fears, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll talk about tools and truths that will help you step into courage and faith, grounded in the Savior’s Atonement.
