Summary

Tony shares new information from a recent speaking event addressing the challenges of navigating a faith journey. He talks about how difficult it is to understand any experience in life until you have gone through something similar; how hard-wired we are only to see things through our lens; how "non-violent communication" impacts our ability to separate an observation we have of someone else's behavior from our judgment; our strong desire to avoid feelings of anxiety and discomfort; and how James Fowler's Stages of Faith can provide a framework to understand ones own faith journey, as well as put others struggle with someone close experiencing a faith journey. And follow Tony on the Virtual Couch YouTube channel to see a sneak preview of his upcoming podcast "Murder on the Couch," where True Crime meets therapy, co-hosted with his daughter Sydney.

0:26.4	I am your host, Tony Overbay.
0:30.3	I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and host of another podcast,
0:31.3	Waking Up to Narcissism.
0:34.5	And this week, I just released the Premium Edition,
0:39.6	Waking Up to Narcissism, Questions, and Answers, the premium podcast. So look for what is called the zero episode out there. I'll put the link in the show notes. And that is a paid
