Can Orthodox Christians go to therapy? Where should we turn when we’re struggling—to a priest, a therapist, or both? And how do we understand trauma, mental health, and spiritual warfare through an Orthodox Christian lens?
In this episode, I sit down with Fr. Timothy Pavlatos, an Orthodox priest and counselor with 25+ years of experience integrating psychology, therapy, and Orthodox theology.
We discuss trauma, somatic practices, yoga, Carl Jung, mental health diagnoses, addiction, spiritual warfare, and, ultimately, the fullness of healing offered through the life of the Church.
