Have you ever wondered if your body knows something that your mind hasn't caught up to yet?

Maybe you’ve always thought of stress as an emotional experience; something that affects your mood, your thoughts, or your relationships. But what if stress has a profound effect on your body? And what if that stress started when you felt like you couldn’t say no?
In this next episode of our summer series, Beach Reads for Real Life, Lynn Roush, LPC, explores a fascinating and sometimes controversial question posed by the book When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress by Gabor Maté: What happens when the need to be loved, accepted, or needed becomes so important that we lose touch with our own limits?
You’ll be challenged to consider the ways your life experiences, coping strategies, and emotional patterns may have shaped your physical health or recent diagnosis. At the same time, Christians need a framework that goes beyond psychology alone. Scripture reminds us that not all suffering is a problem to solve. Some suffering comes from faithfulness, sacrifice, and obedience to Christ.
Listen in as Lynn examines where Maté’s insights are helpful, where they may fall short, and how the gospel speaks to our deepest need for love, connection, and healing. You’ll discover that when your life is in God’s hands, you are free to be honest about your wounds because your worth is already secure in Christ.
