Stop Avoiding It: Biblical Coping Skills Backed by Neuroscience

Today, I sit down with Gina Yanovitch to explore how faith, scripture, and neuroscience combine into a powerful toolkit for healing. Ms. Yanovitch, a therapist and author of Stop Avoiding It, breaks down how our brains process trauma and how scripture-based coping strategies can align with modern psychological science. We talk about the importance of gratitude, the hidden emotional insights in the Bible, and how we unknowingly carry limiting beliefs that affect our self-worth and relationships.

We also dive into her personal journey—from raising children with special needs to working in locked psychiatric wards—revealing how life’s challenges led her to build a system that merges biblical wisdom with therapeutic insights. Ms. Yanovitch explains how trauma, self-awareness, and God's compassion play roles in our mental health and spiritual development.

If you've ever felt like your emotions run your life or your past defines your worth, this episode is for you. We unpack how to turn spiritual truth into emotional strength—and how to finally stop avoiding the things that keep you stuck. From the neuroscience behind gratitude to the scripture-backed steps for dealing with pain, this conversation offers practical tools for deep transformation by focusing on not just reading Scripture but actively practicing it.
