In this powerful episode, we sit down with Tabitha Yates, a survivor whose journey through trauma, mental illness, and faith has shaped a calling to speak truth and bring hope to others. Tabitha grew up in a home marked by abuse, carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, and even a suicide attempt into adulthood. For years, she believed her struggles were signs of weak faith—a message reinforced by the church that left her feeling abandoned in her darkest season.
But Tabitha’s story didn’t end there. Through therapy and a renewed relationship with Jesus, she discovered that mental illness is not a spiritual failure, but part of the healing journey God can redeem. Today, she shares openly about breaking stigma, confronting trauma, and finding freedom in both faith and professional help.
Join us as Tabitha unpacks her journey and the message behind her book Jesus and Therapy—an honest invitation to anyone wrestling with their faith and mental health to know they are not alone, healing is possible, and Jesus walks with us every step of the way.
