We invited Dr Cindy Goodness Zane, clinical psychologist, therapist and EFT trainer to help us learn more about empathy and what it looks like.

Join us for our final episode with Dr. Curt Thompson, psychiatrist, speaker and author, as he shares with us how our connection with God and others brings health and healing.  Connection, and slowing down to pay attention to it, literally re-wires our brain for the better.  There is power that comes when we build relationships and do this work in the context of community.

We pray that this episode speaks to where you are in life, e...

We all come in to the world looking for someone looking for us.  What can happen to our brain when that doesn't happen for us, and how can we overcome that trauma to re-wire our brain for connection? 

Join us on part 3 of our conversation with Dr. Curt Thompson.  We so love his heart and his mind for God and mental health.

It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.

At inRelationship, one of our favorite books is Anatomy of the Soul. In this book, Dr Curt Thompson integrates new findings in neuroscience and attachment with Christian spirituality. So obviously, we had to invite him to talk with us.

And our conversation turned into four episodes!
