I already have the understanding that in many cases, especially when anxiety hits, that it's not God.

That's not how he speaks. He doesn't speak through fear and anxiety and chaos.

But like what you were saying earlier, Deborah, it's true. A lot of people, especially who are struggling with anxiety,

and they have OCD or something, they don't experience East a lot of times. And so sometimes even that, even peace is not an accurate gauge because you may not feel it all the time.

Are you ready to talk to me? My name is Deborah Felata and I'm a licensed professional counselor, national speaker, and author.

Through my blog, books, and podcast, I have the privilege of helping millions of people get healthy mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

The purpose of this podcast is to have on-air, authentic,

counseling-style sessions where we talk about how people are really doing and give my guests

and callers an opportunity to talk to me as a licensed professional counselor.

Each of these episodes is meant to show you that we are all on the journey of healing,

mentally, emotionally, spiritually and relationally, together. None of us are immune to the challenges

and struggles of life, but we don't have to walk this path alone. I'm so proud and honored to be having these conversations

with men and women who are courageously paving the way for open and honest conversations about

their personal journey of healing. So if you're ready, let's talk. So we're doing something a little different over the next few weeks called the Ask a

counselor series. As you know, I recently started the Deborah Felata Counselors Network,

a team of Christian counselors who are offering one-on-one online sessions to meet with you

and help you work through any personal or relationship issue you might be

facing. It's an amazing team of counselors that I get the privilege of leading, and I wanted you to get to

know them the way that I've been getting to know them. I've asked the counselors on my team to come and

join me on the podcast over the next few weeks to help me answer your questions for this Ask

the counselor series. And I can't wait for you to get to know them. To book a session with one of

our counselors, go to Deborahphalata.com slash counseling and get started on your journey of healing
