Julie Hall on Loving Jesus & Going to Therapy

For a long time, therapy has been taboo among Christians. There was a belief - both spoken and unspoken - that you can’t “have Jesus and a therapist.” But you can!! And therapist Julie Hall is here to help us understand why. She brilliantly untangles some of the myths many Christians encounter around therapy and helps demystify it a bit. Julie also shares some of her own story of her first experience with therapy, as well as how she moved from her career in the fast-paced tech world into the slower, though we’re sure still sometimes stormy, waters of clinical therapy.

If you have ever wondered: ‘Does needing therapy mean I don’t have a strong faith?’ or ‘Can I be Christian and still go to therapy?’ or ‘What role can my faith practice play in therapy?’ - or even if you have never asked those questions - this one’s for you!
