A Pastor's Wife Who Has Contemplated Suicide? (ft. Heather) Life After PTSD Podcast: Healing From Trauma
-
- Mental Health
In this episode we welcome Heather, a pastor's wife who has battled thoughts of suicide nearly her entire life. Heather shares of some of the criticism she has received at times for needing a lifeline for mental health, as well as how she has remained on purpose in spite of some of the naysayers. Often times in churches and faith communities there's a predisposition to thinking that mental health and mental wellness are givens for people of faith and that it is a sign of weakness or even "sin" should someone need to reach out for help. Heather helps destroy that notion on this episode.
