Saying “I’m fine” to people when asked how you’re doing, may not be the emotionally honest answer. Sure, there are times and places to give a socially acceptable answer. But with people close to you, this answer blocks connection and prevents closeness in relationships.

238. Saying "I'm Fine" Is Emotional Dishonesty

Chris talks with Yolanda Montgomery of Zoe Ministries about an update to their residential program for this Bridging The Gap, community affairs program on the Bridge.

Bridging The Gap, with ZOE Ministries

Can psychology and spirituality play nice together? Many people believe they cannot mix but we argue they can - and should. Whether a client wants to involve their spiritual beliefs or not, therapy should make space for it without forcing it upon anyone so this important part of life can be addressed.

240. The Role of Spirituality in Therapy

Without advocating for or against medication, we address the importance of understanding how it can play a part in the direction therapy goes. As therapists, we don’t need to know as much as prescribers (Primary Care Docs or Psychiatrists) do, but we should be familiar with medication so therapy can include this critical piece of the puzzle.

239. Medication Can Play A Significant Role In Therapy

Going to therapy is about self-exploration and self-understanding. You learn more about yourself as your therapist reflects you back to yourself. If you’re focused on trying to earn your therapist’s approval by being a “good client,” then you’re missing the point and not getting what you need out of therapy.

241. Stop Trying To Be A "Good Client" In Therapy

You can’t change the world around you but when YOU change, the world around you begins to adjust. As you get healthier, set better boundaries, and become more peaceful, your world will become calmer, safer, and more positive. Bad things will still happen, because that’s a part of life, but the world around you will always be a reflection of what’s in you.

242. Your World Is A Reflection Of You

People often think that being “nice” means you will be “safe” in the world, and others won’t hurt you or take advantage of you. Unfortunately, being nice is often a people-pleasing tendency that seeks to pacify what we believe others want at the expense of our needs, honesty, and healthy relationship.

243. If I’m Nice I’m Safe (People-Pleasing)

Glen Gilbert welcomes retired law enforcement officer and author, Glen Williams, for a candid conversation about life after the uniform. After 26 years on the front line, Williams discovered his toughest battles began when he put the badge away. He opens up about the toll of his service, detailing his struggle with PTSD, enduring two divorces, and nearly losing himself to unhealthy coping mechanisms before finding the tools to rebuild his life from the inside out. This is an essential discussion for both men and women seeking relationship wisdom and a deeper understanding of the silent struggles faced by those in high-risk, trauma-exposed professions.

Williams dives into the pivotal moments and recovery tools that helped him, emphasizing the critical role of self-accountability and making conscious decisions in every moment. He shares his personal journey of dismantling the walls he built for protection, learning to embrace vulnerability as a strength, and leveraging the power of open communication to bridge the emotional gaps in relationships. Glen Williams, author of Bridging the Gap, inspires listeners to find a new purpose outside of their careers, reminding everyone that their most important legacy will always be with their family.
