The Lent Fast Starts This Wednesday!!!! Get more information and join us here Today we welcome Jo Hargreaves, a pastor, psychotherapist, writer, and speaker, to explore the intersection of faith, therapy, and mental health. As the voice behind The Faith-Filled Therapist, Jo is passionate about integrating theology and therapy, scripture and neuroscience, and ensuring that God remains at the center of conversations about mental and emotional well-being. Jo shares powerful insights into attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience, explaining how our earliest experiences shape the way we connect with God and others. She breaks down the science behind emotional regulation and how rewiring our brains through intentional practices can lead to lasting healing. Key takeaways from this episode include: Attachment theory helps explain our emotional responses and relational patterns. Nervous system regulation is essential for mental and emotional well-being. Compassion—both for ourselves and others—can transform our relationships. Faith and neuroscience are not in conflict; they beautifully complement each other. Self-reflection and a deeper understanding of our emotional patterns can lead to spiritual and psychological healing. Jesus offers a loving presence that creates safety, healing, and wholeness. Jo also speaks on compassion fatigue, especially for women who are constantly pouring into others. She emphasizes the importance of creating space for restoration and self-care, so we can continue to show up fully in our relationships. If you’ve ever wondered how mental health and faith intersect or how neuroscience and scripture can work together for personal transformation, this conversation is for you. Jo’s wisdom, warmth, and faith-filled perspective offer a fresh take on healing—one that blends science, therapy, and the unshakable truth of God’s love.
