Today I’m going to teach you how to use the same CBT triangle tool I use with the women I work with, my kids, and even myself to help us all understand and gain self-awareness around our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

This CBT tool has three parts that can assist you in changing the way you think, and as a result, change your life and the lives of your kids.

Ryan George grew up with a father who abused him, a church that hurt him, and a heart that needed healing. Even after learning he wasn’t the only one being abused at the hands of his father, Ryan still found healing he desperately needed, and he’s on a mission to help others heal, tell their story, and live life to the fullest.

Together, Ryan and I talk about

• Ryan’s story growing up in Independent Fundamental Baptist churches
• How Ryan found out about more of his father’s victims outside of their family
• Why Ryan’s book was written to shine a light on problematic theological issues in the church in order to prevent more victims from being hurt
• How finding a healthy church changed Ryan’s life and beliefs
• What you should look for when searching for a healthy church
• And more!

BILL! My friend, Bill, wrote a little comment on my site that I wanted to share with you all. It wasn’t a nice comment, but honestly, that’s what makes this episode fun! Let’s take a look at what our little gaslighting friend said and examine more closely where he got it wrong.
