  Speaker 2: Renew your life. Super excited to have the Lady's version.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I've decided. You know, there is a pink and a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: blue thing going on. Some may call it mental health,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: but Jesus said, haven't you read from the beginning? God
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: made them male and female, And then doctor Emerson Engridge
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: said he is not wrong, just different. So if I
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: had a nickel for every time a guy told me
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that a woman was crazy or vice versa, you'd be crazy.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: That's a whole mental health topic that just came to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: me as we started this show. So I could be crazy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I've been crazy?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Is that word in our organization?
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Here? I'm calling everything crazy.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: That's funny. That's funny. So maybe a quick little intro
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: for newer viewers. This is episode fifteen. We'll start with Shelby,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: tell us a little bit about yourself and why maybe
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: God even put on your heart to be of our
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: little panel and some of these discussions at least once
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a month, you can join in, right sure.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm Shelby Coley. I'm a a marriage and family
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: therapist with New Creations Christian Counseling here in Farmington and Mexico,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: and we are a mental health agency.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of different programs going. We have individual, family,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: couples counseling of various kinds. We do a lot of AMDR,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: which is a trauma therapy. Most almost all of our
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: therapists are trained in AMDR. And then we do intensive
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: outpatient programs, which has a lot to do with substance use.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It's intensive, as the name would suggest, a lot of
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: hours a week for mental health and substance use. So
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: we do both of those, and then we also do
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: some case management.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Type services for some of our community members too.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, I think it's just really cool to
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: be a part of this podcast because everyone has.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Mental health is very much being talked about and like
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: different perspectives on it and how to go about things
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: such as self care and our relationships and what to
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: do with anxiety and how to cope.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: And I think everyone loves to talk about mental health,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: which is great, but I think being able to do
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: it within the context of how God would has designed
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: us and how he would have us steward our mental health,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: I think is really important to kind of get a
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: voice out there on mental health in.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: In the context of.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, to be a part of it, that's good. Yeah, Trudy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Well, Hey, I'm doctor Trudy. I'm in Atlanta and I
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: have my own I have a practice here in Atlanta.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: We do marriage and family, we do.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Trauma, we do transformation, inter healing, and we also do
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: you know, coaching, lifestyle coaching. And I just love because
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: you know, I struggled for years with mental health, depression, anxiety, doubt, unbelief,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: and so when the Lord did his work in me,
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: or I allowed him to do the work in me,
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I'm like, Okay, Lord, I just want to be a
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: vessel for healing because the world is hurting. They say
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: ninety five percent of the people walk around wearing a
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: mask because they're afraid to be real. And the only
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: way to get healed is to be real, to find
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: someone that you can trust so that you can dig
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: deep and walk in that truth. Because the enemy, for me,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: had me believing lies for so long and that's what
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: kept me in bondage. So I'd love being able to
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: help people see the truth of who they are, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: truth of their trauma, the truth of their grief, so
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: that they can walk in freedom. So I'm just thankful
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Pastor Chuck that you allow us to be on your platform.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, you know we said on an Overcomers
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: TV seven years now, it's been a lot of testimony
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and it seems like, you know, there is the college
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: educational route and not to say that is very important,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you know, especially in medical terms, but experience, been there,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: done that. Having a T shirt says a lot. I mean,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: so your misery can become your ministry and so it
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: just it just it helps births some compassion with other
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: people that you see going through stuff for sure. So yeah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we were able to do this. And when
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we talked about before this going live, I was thinking, well,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and you kind of both just hit on it. When
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you think about mental health matters. And I didn't really
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: mean for this title of the show to be a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: kind of spin off or maybe an insult to the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Black Lives Matter movement, But just even when that kind
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: of idea popped its, I'm like, there's a mental health
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: issue behind that mindset. Even you know that some people
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: look at people racism is a mental health issue, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: would say. And you know, I'm under the premise that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: God so loved the whole world, that everybody, and just
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: recently I came to the conclusion, if you don't love
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: everybody in the world, you don't have the heart of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: God yet, and we should aspire for that. It's not easy.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And Jesus even raised the bar and said, love your enemy,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: pray for those who use you, pray for those who
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: spitefully use you. I mean, that's what it means to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: be a Christian. And for us mental health, what we're thinking,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: just thinking, thinking, renewing your mind, renewing your life comes
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: from Romans twelve. So this is a biblical principle on
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the show. But we wanted to talk about everybody needs
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: an assessment. I mean, we all get physicals, you know
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the Bibles and your temperature and how are you doing physically?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And again my psychology teacher said, we all need to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: check up from the neck up on a regular basis.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: We think mental health it's somebody else who's acting crazy,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: but it's hard to see it on yourselves. Shelby, you
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: want to talk about that, sure.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of things that can keep us
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: from seeing what we're struggling with, whether that be you know.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Different coping skills, denial. We're very I see that as
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: people were very self protective. We're into self preservation, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: and so sometimes our flaws.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Can be hidden from us.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: If what you're talking about, we can see it on
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: other people, but we don't always see it in ourselves.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think in reality, there's so many things
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: that all of us struggle with, and I think there
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: are things that we can check in on and look
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: forward to see.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: As you know, before we
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Had started this this morning, that you had mentioned, you know,
