Join us as we sit Across the Counter from Psychiatrist, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Curt Thompson.
In this ATC Episode:
• Have you ever considered the profound intersection where faith meets mental health? This is exactly the territory we navigate with our guest, Curt Thompson, whose work as a psychiatrist is deeply interwoven with his Christian faith.
• Together, we examine the unexpected journey that led him to a career in psychiatry, a field he feels was less of a choice and more of a calling. Curt illuminates the connections between interpersonal neurobiology and Christian spiritual formation, sharing transformative insights from his clinical practice, particularly within the powerful setting of confessional communities.
• Diving into the daily reality of fusing personal beliefs with professional responsibilities, we tackle the challenges and rewards that come with living a life centered around faith. I open up about how my own Christian faith informs every facet of my professional endeavors, whether that's behind the microphone, flipping houses, or providing patient care. We delve into the nuances of love's role in therapy, understanding the importance of both extending and accepting love, and why it's so crucial in the journey toward healing and growth.
This episode is an invitation to challenge, inspire, and deepen the empathy we hold in our shared human experience!
