Trigger Warning: This post discusses the reality of self-harm. Please prioritize your well-being while reading. If someone you love is struggling with self-injury, your greatest tool isn’t a “fix”—it’s your non-judgmental presence.

These slides break down the internal experience of self-injury and debunk the myths that keep people in isolation. Whether it’s an adult professional or a teenager, this struggle is about managing overwhelming pain, not seeking attention.

The Action Step: Be a supportive, non-anxious presence. Start by listening.

Today is Self-Harm Awareness Day. Self-harm doesn’t always look like what you think. It’s not just cutting or burning. It can show up as reckless behavior, hitting yourself, or picking at your skin. These actions are often signals of deeper pain.

If you or someone you love struggles, ask yourself these questions. Is this out of self-hate? Is it a way to cope with emotional pain? Is it a cry for help? Recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting support.

You don’t have to face it alone.

We live in an age of information overload. On a daily basis, we are flooded with images, sounds, and news about the world and people around us. It’s hard to ignore the noise, and equally as hard to not be impacted by it.

How can we guard our hearts and minds in the things that we see?

How can we intentionally steward our time and emotions in the content we consume or are
exposed to?

Here are some steps we believe you can take to stay relevant without feeling unsafe while doing so.

This year, we’re honoring Black voices shaping faith and mental health — from thought leaders to clinicians.

Grace Honorat walks alongside clients carrying heavy burdens, creating safe, trauma-informed spaces where emotional health and spiritual growth are addressed together. She reminds us: people are beloved, and freedom and clarity are possible.

This year marks 100 years since the first national observances of Black history.

At Redeemer Counseling, we’re honoring that legacy by spotlighting Black thought leaders and clinicians shaping the conversation at the intersection of faith and mental health.

Today we’re featuring Sharon Richards Alcendor, LCSW.

Sharon’s work is rooted in clinical excellence and theological care. She believes lasting change requires more than insight — it requires experience, integration, and the courage to engage what has been avoided. Through relational, process-oriented therapy, she helps clients move beyond coping toward embodied healing.

In a time marked by fragmentation, her work reminds us that emotional health and spiritual formation are not separate pursuits — they are deeply connected.

Today is the first day of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

The path toward healing isn't a straight line, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Statistics tell us 28.8 million Americans will face an eating disorder in their lifetime. But behind the numbers are embodied souls, people navigating a world that feels increasingly complex. Often, the struggle with food or body is a way of navigating a deeper search for worth, or a shield against a shame that feels too heavy to carry.

We believe that healing happens in the "with." Just as a journey isn't made in a single leap, we are here to walk through the nuances of your story alongside you. It’s a process of looking up, not just looking in, discovering a new way to see yourself, God, and others.

Whether you feel like you are just starting or have been on this road for years, there is space for you here. We are here to help you move toward deeper healing, combining the best of clinical wisdom with a hope that holds fast.

You are seen. You are valued. Every BODY belongs.

This year marks 100 years since the first national observances of Black history.

At Redeemer Counseling, we’re honoring that legacy by spotlighting Black thought leaders shaping the conversation at the intersection of faith and mental health.

We’re highlighting Black thought leaders — from authors to clinicians — who are shaping faith and mental health in real time.

Today, we’re featuring Michael, a Redeemer counselor, whose work embodies what this looks like in practice. In counseling rooms every day, he helps clients navigate identity, belief, trauma, and healing with care and clarity.

His perspective reminds us that faith and mental health are not competing forces. They can inform one another. They can strengthen one another. And when held with intention, they can support a whole and integrated life.

This year marks 100 years since the first national observances of Black history.

At Redeemer Counseling, we’re honoring that legacy by spotlighting Black thought leaders shaping the conversation at the intersection of faith and mental health.

These leaders show us that healing and belief can grow together, that faith can guide recovery, and attention to mental well-being supports a whole life.

Today, we’re highlighting Sheila Wise Rowe — truth-teller, advocate for dignity, and faith-rooted counselor. With over 35 years of experience as a Christian counselor, educator, writer, and speaker, Sheila has worked across the globe, helping communities reclaim language, culture, and resilience while staying anchored in God.

Her work reminds us that real healing grows in community, that faith can carry sorrow and courage, and that hope is strongest when it holds both truth and dignity.

Follow along as we continue to celebrate voices transforming mental health through faith.

Whether it’s the quiet ache of unfulfilled longing or the complex strain of a relationship that feels disconnected, today often highlights the spaces in our hearts that feel “empty.”

If you are single, those longings are pointers—reminding you that you are seen and known by a God whose love is an ocean, not a drop. If you are in a relationship, today is an invitation to be a source of grace and intentionality for your partner, even in the midst of conflict.

In every season, you don’t have to navigate the path alone.

At Redeemer Counseling, we are here to walk alongside you, connecting your current reality with the hope of the Gospel. Whether you are looking to process a season of singleness or seeking to strengthen your marriage, our counselors are ready to partner with you.

Disordered eating exists on a spectrum, and identifying when eating behaviors become addictive can be complex.

This post highlights an archived Redeemer Counseling toolkit that features the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), a validated measure designed to assess addictive-like eating behaviors. The assessment can support counselors and caregivers in clarifying patterns, severity, and appropriate levels of care.

The full archived toolkit is available at:
redeemercounseling.com/august2019

For clinicians seeking the complete validated scale, the full Yale Food Addiction Scale can be accessed through the Food and Addiction Science & Treatment Lab (FAST Lab):
fastlab.psych.lsa.umich.edu/yale-food-addiction-scale/

With appropriate care, addictive eating behaviors are treatable, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Mental health support looks different depending on the need.

Some seasons call for counseling.
Others require urgent or crisis support.
And sometimes, knowing where to turn is the most important first step.

We’re sharing mental health resources by category to help individuals, families, churches, and caregivers identify appropriate support when it’s needed.

These resources, including Redeemer Counseling Services, are available so no one has to navigate distress alone.
