After years of heartbreak and emotional trauma, she realized it’s not about just getting over hard circumstances but learning how to work through what she has walked through. Now, she wants to help you do the same. That’s why Lysa teamed up with her personal, licensed professional counselor, Jim Cress, alongside the Director of Theological Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, to bring you \"Therapy & Theology.\" While Lysa, Jim and Joel do tackle some really hard topics, you’ll soon find they're just three friends having a great conversation and learning from each other along the way.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T16:17:31.375115+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/therapy-and-theology-5630841"},"episode":{"title":"Bonus: When Helping Others Starts Hurting You","slug":"bonus-when-helping-others-starts-hurting-you","published_at":"2026-06-25T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/therapy-and-theology-5630841/bonus-when-helping-others-starts-hurting-you","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/therapy-and-theology-5630841","url":"https://therapyandtheology.transistor.fm/episodes/bonus-when-helping-others-starts-hurting-you","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/5597e522/2b912856.mp3","summary":"However you are called to help other people, that is your personal ministry. But how can you serve others, lead well, and make a difference without losing yourself or burning out? In this episode, you'll learn: When helping others crosses the line into enabling, you're trying to \"play savior,\" or even becoming codependent. How to manage internal desires you have, like longing for affirmation, so that you can stay healthy, emotionally grounded, and purehearted. The difference between bettering your self-image and growing in self-awareness.
