Ep 87 - Mental Health Check-In: Therapist Thoughts on Deconstructing

Each month, Still Becoming brings you a Mental Health Check-In episode. These episodes are focused on mental health, emotional health, or personal growth, and involve a short teaching and a few take aways in around 15 to 20 minutes. The idea is to take a therapeutic topic or technique and expand it to help us in our everyday lives.⁣⁣ I am so excited to have another listener request episode. The request was for deconstructing faith, what a great topic. I have decided to approach this episode from my lens, education, and experience as a therapist. I think it is the most authentic thing I can offer, and also allows me to stay in my lane - which is also my best offering. I will be discussing this from generally what I see and know about the brain and our wiring, but this is not personal or specific to me or anyone else, and this is in no way exhaustive - there will be many things I don't address I am sure, and everyone's experience will be unique. The idea of deconstructing something, I also believe, can apply not only to a faith practice, but to any thing, or relationship to something, we find ourselves changing. Ultimately, I hope this episode makes space for you to think and know your own self, thoughts, and beliefs, because they are far more important than mine.
