💡 Mental Health Wisdom the Church Needs to Know

Too often, what gets labeled as “lack of faith” is actually unresolved pain. The truth is:

• Healing is both spiritual and emotional — prayer and processing are not opposites, they’re partners.

• Trauma responses can masquerade as “faithfulness,” but God never asked us to burn out for Him.

• Boundaries, rest, and honest lament are not weakness — they are biblical ways of living whole.

• Numbness isn’t peace, and avoidance isn’t holiness. God desires presence, not performance.

When we reduce everything to spiritual warfare or simple advice, we miss the way Jesus met people — with truth and tenderness.

Real transformation is slow, embodied, and relational. It’s letting God into the messy parts and walking with one another toward wholeness.

🌱 The invitation for the church is this: before we try to reach the world, let’s let Christ reach into us. That’s where building His kingdom begins.

Posted • Being “chill” isn’t always a flex.

Sometimes it’s just a mask for deep, unresolved fear.

The fear of confrontation. The fear of being misunderstood. The fear of rocking the boat or being seen as “too much.”

So instead of speaking up, you silence yourself. You label it “emotional maturity” or “not wanting drama” But underneath that self-protection is something far more honest: avoidance.

Avoidance of conflict. Avoidance of rejection. Avoidance of the discomfort that comes with honesty.

But here’s the truth most people don’t want to face: The conversations you avoid don’t disappear. They sit in your nervous system.

They echo in your relationships. They resurface as passive aggression, burnout, anxiety, or even illness.

Real emotional regulation is not silence. It’s not smiling through your own suppression. It’s being able to hold your nervous system steady while you speak your truth.
It’s learning to stay present in your body when your voice shakes.

Emotional maturity isn’t about keeping the peace at all costs.
It’s about choosing peace that comes after honesty, not instead of it.

Because nothing poisons connection faster than unspoken resentment.

So if you’ve been quiet to keep the peace, ask yourself:
Is it really peace? Or is it just a temporary escape from a deeper fear?

Either way, you deserve more than the illusion of calm.

Everyone can’t go through the growing pains with you but it doesn’t take anything away from the joy of their existence during a certain time of your life!!

Repeat after me: I am allowed to protect my peace, even if it means creating distance from those who add stress to my life. My feelings are valid, and I honor them by choosing what is best for my well-being. Intentions may not always align with my needs, and that’s okay. I prioritize my mental and emotional health by setting boundaries that keep me afloat. I am deserving of spaces and relationships that nourish, not drain, my spirit.⁠

This is so masterfully stated!!🥹❤️
The amount of times I have been called “strong” when I was actually checked out…

… and labeled as emotional or sensitive when I was feeling…

It’s just interesting, you know?

What is strength?

Is it literally bracing and tensing through challenges, or is it softening and allowing the reality of whatever comes?

I think every moment is unique, and we sometimes do need strength that comes in the form of just getting through it.

I think our biological ability to dissociate, numb, distract is an incredible feat.

But once we have the time, space and support — acknowledging how we feel and really going there, really feeling it…

I find that to be a strength unlike anything else 🧡

As I journey through this unfamiliar and uncomfortable space of therapy, this is one of the prevailing themes that I face daily, forgiving myself. I have to often remind myself, based on previous revelation from God, to give myself grace! Even when I started my journey with my therapist, she said “We definitely have to get you to a place where you are no longer beating yourself up”. I’m learning to be kind to the versions of myself that shamed me. So I’m learning to quickly cutoff rumination by speaking kind words about little girl Pam, teenage Pam and every version thereafter. Please join me in forgiving ourselves and show compassion to every version of ourselves.

The truth is the effects of trauma have done a lot of damage to our ability to make reasonable and responsible choices. As a result we’ve done some very challenging and interesting things to ourselves and others we may regret.

So forgive yourself and forgive the people, the executors of the trauma. That takes another level of compassion because they were broken and often times traumatized as well. The executors were often our parents or other family members that simply passed it on. Based on personal experience this part is huge. This is where my faith kicks in understanding the Grace and Mercy that God affords me every single morning. Lam 3:22-23 It helps me, sometimes with great challenge I must admit, to extend this Grace and Mercy to those broken vessels.

We must do the work to become the best version of ourselves. The Lord has Destiny for each of us! One again, let’s forgive ourselves, forgive the executors of the traumas and all the participators in the judgment of the effects of those traumas (another post for another day😒)and get to the BEST YOU!!!
