It was such an honor to have our very own Michael Cross, LPC-S and owner of Directed Steps Counseling Center, speak to the NORTHCHURCH staff this morning on the topic of “loving well in community.” He demonstrated how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and biblical wisdom go hand in hand when learning how to handle hurt and anger within close relationships.

Labor Day gives us a chance to recognize the value of hard work—but it can also be a reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup.

STRESS. BURNOUT. ANXIETY. RELATIONSHIP STRUGGLES. LIFE TRANSITIONS.

You don’t have to wait until things become overwhelming before reaching out for support.

This Labor Day, take a step toward yourself!

Starting a new school year can bring excitement—but also uncertainty and stress. Here are 5 potential red flags to watch for:

1. 🏫 ATTENDING A NEW SCHOOL
New teachers, new classmates, and an unfamiliar building can leave a child feeling uncomfortable or out of place.

2. 🤐 INTROVERTED PERSONALITIES
Some kids—especially introverts—may struggle with social situations, making friends, or opening up because they fear rejection or judgment.

3. 🚩 PAST BULLYING
A history of bullying can create fear about returning to school, encountering former bullies, or experiencing rejection again.

4. ❓ WORRYING ABOUT THE UNKNOWN
Questions like “Will I make friends?” “Will my classes be too hard?” or “Where will I fit in?” can quickly turn into anxiety.

5. 🔄 MAJOR CHANGES OVER THE SUMMER
Moving, divorce, loss, changes in a parent’s job, financial stress, or the end of an important friendship or relationship can affect a child’s sense of security.

We can help!

Anger avoidance might be the root behind your depression… 👀 ⬇️

Many people are comfortable admitting they’re depressed, but uncomfortable admitting they’re angry.

Sometimes depression isn’t the absence of emotion—it’s emotion that’s been buried.

Anger itself isn’t the enemy. It’s an emotion that often points to something deeper: hurt, injustice, disappointment, fear, or unmet needs.

The goal isn’t to explode in anger—or pretend it doesn’t exist.
The goal is to understand it, express it in healthy ways, and allow it to lead you toward healing instead of despair.

You don’t have to be controlled by emotions you don’t fully understand.
