Have you ever wondered if counseling is actually helping? Maybe you’ve been showing up, doing the work, and trying to trust the process, but you’re still wondering if it’s worth the time, money, and energy.
In this episode of Godly Habits, Brooklynn and Dr. Mason Howe share three practical, faith based habits that can help you get the most out of counseling and other helping relationships. You’ll learn how to keep God at the center of your healing journey, take ownership of the parts that belong to you, and use wisdom and discernment as you navigate the process. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, overwhelmed, or discouraged, this conversation will offer hope, clarity, and encouragement for your next step.
What You’ll Hear:
• Why healing often takes longer than we expect and how unrealistic expectations can leave us discouraged
• Three practical habits that can support growth, healing, and lasting change between sessions
• How to use wisdom and discernment when deciding if a helping relationship is a good fit
Quick Win Practice:
This week’s reflection will help you identify one area of your healing journey where God may be inviting you to take your next faithful step.
