SEPTEMBER FAMILY SERIES | 2 OF 8

YOUR HOME IS FORMING SOMEONE

Every family has a culture—even when no one intentionally created it.

Children learn what matters by watching what gets celebrated, corrected, ignored, and prioritized.

They learn how adults handle anger.

How husbands and wives speak to one another.

Whether people apologize.

Whether forgiveness actually happens.

Whether truth changes depending upon someone’s feelings.

Whether responsibility is expected.

Whether faith belongs only at church or actually shapes Tuesday afternoon.

Our children are not simply listening to what we teach.

They are living inside what we practice.

And sometimes a family realizes:

We don’t like what has developed here.

Maybe everyone is yelling.

Maybe nobody talks.

Maybe one child’s needs have begun consuming the family.

Maybe Mom and Dad disagree about discipline.

Maybe technology has displaced relationship.

Maybe resentment has quietly accumulated.

Maybe everyone loves one another deeply—and yet home has become tense.

This is another place where counseling can be valuable.

We don’t necessarily need to search for which family member has the “problem.”

Instead, we can slow everything down and ask:

What patterns have developed between us?

What are we teaching one another through the ways we respond?

What needs correction?

What needs forgiveness?

What needs a boundary?

What needs compassion?

And where does truth need to replace something we have begun believing?

Sometimes counseling isn’t about diagnosing a family member.

It’s about helping a family see itself clearly enough to begin doing something differently.

THE FAMILY WAS GOD’S IDEA

Long before there were parenting books, family therapists, personality assessments, or psychological theories, there was the family.

And the family was God’s idea.

Scripture does not present the family as simply a collection of individuals living under the same roof. Family carries purpose, responsibility, belonging, authority, sacrifice, instruction, protection, and love.

That matters because how we define the family will eventually determine what we believe the family is supposed to accomplish.

If the primary goal becomes keeping everyone happy, avoiding conflict, or making sure no one feels uncomfortable, we will approach family very differently than if we understand the home as one of the primary places where we learn truth, love, responsibility, forgiveness, self-control, service, and wisdom.

And sometimes families get stuck.

Not because someone necessarily has a mental-health diagnosis.

Sometimes good parents are exhausted.

Sometimes husbands and wives have stopped understanding one another.

Sometimes a teenager is struggling and the entire family is unsure how to respond.

Sometimes grief, illness, transition, conflict, or years of unhealthy patterns have changed the atmosphere of a home.

That is a perfectly legitimate reason to seek counseling.

Counseling does not always have to begin with, “What is wrong with this person?”

Sometimes a better question is:

“What is happening in this family, where does it hurt, and what would it look like to bring truth, wisdom, responsibility, grace, and hope into it?”

Throughout September, we’re going to talk about exactly that.

Because families don’t have to be falling apart before they are allowed to ask for help.

I’m looking for professionals with a growl.

I’m looking for the providers who have stared into the belly of the beast and decided they’re not going to simply do what they’ve always been told to do. The ones who have looked hard at pharmaceuticals, protocols, conventional wisdom, and the assumptions underneath them—and have been willing to ask harder questions.

The ones who have done the research. Who aren’t satisfied with, “But the science says…” without actually opening the studies, examining the evidence, asking who funded it, considering the limitations, and being willing to follow the truth wherever it leads.

Maybe somewhere along the way, what had once been theoretical became painfully personal—and you couldn’t unsee what you had learned. And instead of becoming cynical, you decided to help people differently.

I want to link arms with professionals who are brave enough to work against the grain when their research, experience, conscience, and convictions require it.
The professionals who occasionally go home wondering:
Am I crazy? Why does it feel like I’m swimming upstream?
And then you get up the next morning and keep doing the work.
Not because you’re driven by fear or because you’re anti-medicine or anti-science.
But because you believe people deserve thoughtful, individualized care—and because you understand that a human being is more than a diagnosis, a symptom cluster, or a prescription. Physicians, nurse practitioners, functional & integrative providers, dietitians, nutritional professionals, physical & occupational therapists, chiropractors, women's health providers, pastors & ministry leaders. And other professionals committed to helping people recover, rebuild, and fully participate in their lives.

I need trustworthy people to whom I can refer clients—professionals who aren’t interested merely in numbing symptoms, but who are willing to ask what is happening underneath them and help people pursue meaningful, whole-person care.

I want to build a network.
If this describes you, introduce yourself below.
And if you know a professional who works this way, tag them.

It’s time for the people doing courageous, thoughtful work to find one another.

DON’T LIVE IN IOWA? THERE MAY STILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN WITH ME.

Over the years, I’ve heard from people outside of Iowa who resonate with the way I approach questions of psychology, relationships, the mind, and faith—but aren’t able to work with me as psychotherapy clients.
So I’m beginning to offer something different: Christian Psychoeducation.

Topics may include:

Destructive Patterns in Marriage

Boundaries, Responsibility & Agency

Brain, Mind & Mental Health

Christianity & Modern Psychology

Understanding Popular Therapy Approaches

This could be a great seminar for your church, women’s or men’s ministry, leadership team, parenting group, Bible study, or small group. These conversations can open the door to thoughtful discussion about how Christians understand people, relationships, suffering, responsibility, and change in a culture saturated with therapeutic language.
These offerings are educational—not treatment. Christian psychoeducation does not include psychotherapy, mental-health counseling, diagnosis, psychological assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, or treatment of a mental-health disorder. Participation does not establish a therapist-client relationship.

My hope is simple:
To help Christians become better thinkers about psychology, relationships, the mind, and what it means to be human—without leaving Scripture at the door.
You don’t have to live in Iowa to learn with me.
Interested personally—or think this would be valuable for your church or small group? Send me a message and let’s talk about what you’re looking for.

Getting to know All Things New through the perspective of our owner/therapist Rachel Valentine.

I have watched our culture listen to someone for five seconds, assign them a label, and then dismiss everything they have to say.

Difficult. Controversial.

Too outspoken. Too conservative.

Too much.

And lately I’ve been thinking about how I want my children to remember me. How I want my community to remember me when I no longer walk this earth.

I don’t want to be whitewashed.

I don’t need everyone to say I was agreeable. I don’t need them to say I never made them uncomfortable.

I want my children to be able to say:

When darkness came, my mom tried to be faithful in reflecting light.

So I’m going to tell you a few things—not to toot my own horn, but because if I’m going to encourage courage, conviction, discernment, and faithfulness here, you should know whether I have been willing to bear the cost of those things myself.

And when I looked at my own profession and became increasingly convinced that parts of it were moving further and further away from what I believe God has revealed as true about human beings, suffering, sin, healing, and restoration, I eventually reached a place where remaining quiet would have required me to violate my own convictions.

So I chose not to remain quiet.

Even when obedience meant loss.

Even when it meant walking away.

Even when it meant becoming smaller and beginning again.

I am not telling you that I have always gotten everything right. I haven’t.

I am telling you what I want my life to be about.

Faithfulness over approval.

Truth over comfort.

Courage over self-preservation.

Light in the darkness.

Someday my children will tell the story of who their mother was.

I hope they tell the whole thing.

The mistakes. The stubbornness. The battles. The costs. The times I got it wrong and the times I stood when it would have been much easier to sit down.

But above all, I hope they can say:

She believed what she said.

She lived what she believed.

And when it cost her something to stand, she stood.

That is the legacy I hope to leave.

Not that everyone agreed with me.

But that I was faithful with the light I was given.

We have learned an entire vocabulary for suffering. Trauma response. Nervous-system dysregulation. Amygdala activation. The body keeps the score.

But I think Christians should ask a much more fundamental question:
What happens when we begin separating the body from the mind—and eventually the mind from the person?

Of course suffering affects the body. Fear changes heart rate. Stress affects sleep. Trauma can alter attention, memory, arousal and threat perception.

But your amygdala is not a separate person living inside of you.

That distinction matters.

Because if my trauma can simply “bypass my mind” and make me act, at what point am I no longer acting?

If my nervous system did it, am I responsible?

If my amygdala made me angry, does repentance still apply?

If dysregulation explains my cruelty, what becomes of self-control?

This is where a therapeutic description can quietly become an anthropology.

Scripture speaks about us as embodied people, certainly. We grow tired. We hunger. We tremble. We suffer. Our bodies profoundly affect us.

But Scripture repeatedly calls us to the renewal of the mind—to take thoughts captive, set our minds upon what is true, exercise self-control, put off what belongs to the old self and put on what belongs to Christ.

The body, the brain, and trauma matters - But none of them gets to become sovereign.

And this is one reason I think Christians should be far more discerning about the enormous cultural influence of The Body Keeps the Score. There is legitimate trauma science underneath parts of the conversation. But some of its popularized claims about what trauma does to the brain and body—and what necessarily heals it—are increasingly being questioned in the scientific literature itself.

Maybe the better question isn’t merely: “What did trauma do to my body?”

Maybe it is also: “What came from what happened to me? What have I come to believe? What do I fear? How have I learned to respond? And what is God now calling me to do with all of it?”

Your suffering deserves compassion. But compassion does not require surrendering agency. You are an embodied person—not a nervous system with a diagnosis.

Who I am. What I do. Why it’s different. Why it’s necessary.

RECLAIMING THE MIND

A therapist reclaiming the mind in a culture that seems to have lost its own.

I believe we have slowly reduced human beings to brains, behaviors, diagnoses, identities, impulses, and subjective experiences—while losing sight of the very thing necessary to make sense of any of them:

the mind.

The mind reasons.
The mind examines.
The mind interprets.
The mind discerns.
The mind wrestles with meaning.
The mind asks whether something is not merely felt, but true.

As a Christian therapist, I believe human beings are both material and immaterial—embodied image-bearers of God possessing inherent dignity, moral agency, an interior life, and a capacity to know and respond to truth.

That means I will take your subjective experience seriously without pretending subjective experience creates objective reality. AHEM….there is no “My Truth”….only THE Truth.

I will care about your brain and your body without reducing you to either one.

I will care about your emotions without assuming every emotion tells the truth.

I will care about your story while believing your story exists within a much larger Story.

And I will believe you capable of something far greater than endlessly managing symptoms:

thinking, discerning, choosing, growing, repenting, forgiving, loving, enduring, and becoming wise.

Perhaps what our culture needs is not another therapeutic framework teaching us to look increasingly inward for our own truth.

Perhaps we need to recover the courage to ask what is actually true—about ourselves, about suffering, about goodness and evil, about God, and about what it means to be human.

That is the work I want to do.

Reclaim the mind.
Recover truth.
Restore the person.

I have been thinking a great deal about the way we do therapy around suffering.

Recently, while working with someone who had endured past horrific trauma, we began talking about what had happened to her as a chapter in an epic novel.

It is a chapter that must be read. We don’t minimize what was done to her. We don’t rush past the grief, anger, betrayal, fear, or consequences that followed it.

But we also don’t mistake the chapter for the novel. And that distinction matters enormously to the kind of therapy I do.

Much of modern trauma language asks us to understand people through categories of trauma, triggers, regulation, and the nervous system. Some approaches teach strategies for containing painful material until a person feels sufficiently safe or resourced to approach it. But I increasingly question what happens when those categories become the primary lens through which a human being learns to understand suffering—and eventually herself.

Because suffering is not new to humanity.

Human beings have endured war, assault, betrayal, death, famine, infertility, broken marriages, and wayward children for as long as human beings have existed.

I believe there is another way to walk with suffering. We can look directly at the chapter. We can call evil what it was. We can grieve what was lost. We can notice where fear, shame, anger, avoidance, or false beliefs took root because of it.

But then we keep reading.

Because the woman sitting across from me is not fundamentally “a trauma survivor.” She is a whole human being created in the image of God. Something terrible happened to her. It does not therefore possess the authority to tell her who she is.

That is one of the distinctions I want to preserve in my counseling work.

I am less interested in helping someone build her entire life around managing the aftermath of suffering and much more interested in helping her understand suffering truthfully within the whole story of her life.

Scripture never asks us to pretend suffering didn’t happen. But neither does suffering get the final word. The painful chapter remains in the book. It may even change how we understand everything that comes afterward.
