Today Rebecca is joined by Emily Yi from Jacksonville Creative Therapy to talk about supporting emotionally intense teens and young adults.

We'll explore this intensity or "emotional overexcitability," and explore how it shows up, and why intensity can be a strength rather than a flaw.

You'll receive guidance and practical tips for supporting the emotionally intense child in your life, and learn to recognize the signs that indicate further help is needed.

This episode explores why people experience and express emotions differently—how upbringing, culture, biology, and personality shape our comfort with feeling.

You'll learn some practical tools including expanding your emotional vocabulary with a feelings wheel, using music and story to tune into feelings, slowing down to check feelings against facts and faith, and small practices to widen your window of tolerance and deepen connection.

Today's conversation is about identity—how God’s truth forms who we are versus building identity based on performance, wounds, or roles.

The episode explores practical distinctions between calling, assignment, and self-worth, and highlights ways to reframe false beliefs through family-of-origin work, thought replacement, and therapeutic tools like EMDR.

Rooted in Scripture and prayer, the discussion offers hopeful, faith-based steps for anyone struggling with shame or shifting life seasons, and points listeners to community resources and further support. For more information, go to jesusandyourmentalhealth.com
