How Gottman Therapy and Christian Faith Work Together

Watching my account go down and up and down and up has shown me something:

Security isn’t found in a perfectly steady line.

Financial fluctuations are part of modern life. My nervous system reacting to them is part of being human.

The work is not to eliminate reaction.

The work is to return to regulation.

And if you find it hard to quiet the narrative, it might help to process it with someone who understands both the clinical side and the human side.
