Holding Space for Emotions and Disappointment with Therapist Barb Hill

Listen in as we chat with therapist and author Barb Hill about navigating faith and mental health struggles. Barb shares her insights on how we can grow a tolerance for our own emotions, how we can say yes to healing, and what to do when we’re disappointed in the waiting. Barb is the author of Seasons of Waiting, where she reflects the culmination of her many life experiences and lessons. She also founded Holding Space Counseling, a thriving group practice in Franklin, TN where she lives and works as a trauma therapist.
