Jesus and Your Mental Health – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Today Rebecca is joined by Emily Yi from Jacksonville Creative Therapy to talk about supporting emotionally intense teens and young adults.

We'll explore this intensity or "emotional overexcitability," and explore how it shows up, and why intensity can be a strength rather than a flaw.

You'll receive guidance and practical tips for supporting the emotionally intense child in your life, and learn to recognize the signs that indicate further help is needed.  For more information on Emily, visit https://jacksonvillecreativetherapy.com/ Visit https://www.jesusandyourmentalhealth.com/ to order your copy of Rebecca's book or to find out more about her practice. 

This episode explores why people experience and express emotions differently—how upbringing, culture, biology, and personality shape our comfort with feeling. 

You'll learn some practical tools including expanding your emotional vocabulary with a feelings wheel, using music and story to tune into feelings, slowing down to check feelings against facts and faith, and small practices to widen your window of tolerance and deepen connection.
