DEPRESSION and CHRISTIAN FAITH: Faith-based Coping Skills

How can you battle depression and mental illness through faith? In this video, I'll teach you how depression and Christian faith can coexist, and that using Christian spirituality as a coping skill is an effective way to overcome the challenges we face.

It's Mental Health Awareness Month 2020, and I wanted to take a moment to share my own personal struggles.

Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directionalfaith/

As someone who has personally battled depression for most of my life, I have personal experience with the impact faith can have on our mental health. I once thought that depression and Christian faith were not compatible, but now I realize that it is my faith that brings me through life's greatest challenges.

In individual therapy, group sessions, and seminars, you will often hear about using coping skills to overcome depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses, and for me developing a relationship with Christ through spirituality has been the coping skill that has truly made a difference. Specifically, I like to use Ignatian Spirituality founded on the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

Finding Happiness After Trauma: I Stopped Looking (2018)

Finding happiness after trauma seemed impossible - so I completely gave up because I "realized" I'd never be happy again. Ironically, that was the best place to begin to actually find happiness again.

The Dangers of Loving or Hating Too Much

It can be deeply tempting to split people into two camps, those of the 'good' and those of the 'evil'. But in truth, no one - not even the worst sinner or purest saint - is ever either totally good or bad. We're all a perplexing mixture of the two. Maturity means resisting the urge either to denigrate or to worship excessively.

FURTHER READING

“If there is one generalisation to hazard about maturity, it is that it involves neither profoundly idealising, nor denigrating other people.
But let’s begin with babies. The pioneering mid-20th century Viennese psychoanalyst Melanie Klein famously drew attention to something very dramatic that happens in the minds of babies during feeding sessions with their mothers…”

Supporting educators' mental health during high-stress periods

During high-stress periods—such as the COVID-19 pandemic—educators need to take care of their mental health so they can provide support to their students and patients. In this video, Dr. Amin Azzam shares three tips you can use as an educator to support your mental health during times of crisis:
1. Engage in self care.
2. Build and support your team and community of peers.
3. Look for signs of burnout and seek help for yourself. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
