Valentine Glass
“I called every therapist my insurance claimed was accepting clients, most of whom were not—a few specialized only in children. One told me she only spoke to dying people and did not think it clever to retort we were all terminal cases.”
― Valentine Glass, Jarring Sex

Tabitha Yates
“Jesus is not at war with mental health professionals. You can walk hand in hand with both Jesus and a therapist. In fact, you are doing the bravest thing of all by allowing someone in who can walk you through the hard things. We were never meant to go on this journey alone.”
― Tabitha Yates, Jesus and Therapy: Bridging the Gap Between Faith and Mental Health
