<p>This week, I’m continuing the series This Ends With Me: The War Against Anxiety. In part two, I share what it was like returning to therapy after almost two years and how I prayed my way through the process of finding a new counselor.</p><p><br></p><p>After trying therapy and medication in the past without lasting success, I reached a point where I knew I had to do things differently. I asked God to lead me to the right person, someone who would challenge me, not just listen and send me home with breathing exercises. I prayed for her before I even met her, and when I finally walked into that first session, I could feel that God had gone before me.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I talk about how I recognized the signs that this new therapist might be the one God chose for me, what I learned from her analogy about anxiety, and how prayer has become part of my therapy journey. I also share the homework she gave me and how I used ChatGPT to help me think through my anxiety triggers.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is a reminder that healing is both spiritual and practical. We can pray, fast, and still show up for therapy. Faith and mental health are not separate journeys; they work together.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Scripture References:</strong></p><ul><li>Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."</li><li>Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."</li><li>James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If you are searching for a therapist, pray about it. Ask God to lead you to the right person, and believe that healing is possible for you.<br>If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who might be struggling with anxiety or thinking about therapy.

<p>In this solo episode, I (Kiara) open up about my lifelong struggle with anxiety and the deeper spiritual battle underneath it. I share what it’s been like to live with generalized, social, and performance anxiety, and the moment I realized I had stopped believing that God could heal me.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn’t a story of having it all figured out. It’s a story of being in process, learning to separate my identity from anxiety and rediscovering what it means to believe that peace is possible.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, unbelief, or the thought that “this is just who I am,” I pray this conversation reminds you that healing is still possible.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In This Episode:</strong></p><ul><li>I share my earliest memories of anxiety and how it shaped how I see myself.</li><li>The physical ways anxiety has shown up in my body: from reflux to jaw pain to pelvic floor tension.</li><li>Why I believe anxiety isn’t just mental but also spiritual.</li><li>How unbelief quietly took root in my life, even as a believer.</li><li>The bold declaration I’m making for healing and peace.</li><li>What I’m doing differently now: therapy, prayer, and deeper time in Scripture.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Scriptures Mentioned:</strong></p><ul><li>“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” — <strong>1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)</strong></li><li>“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — <strong>Philippians 4:6 (NIV)</strong></li><li>“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — <strong>2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)</strong></li><li>“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” — <strong>Luke 10:19 (NIV)</strong></li><li>“Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’” — <strong>Mark 9:24 (NIV)</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned:</strong></p><ul><li>The Bible Project (<a href="https://bibleproject.com/">https://bibleproject.com/</a>)— an online platform with Bible study resources and video-based studies for deeper understanding of Scripture.</li><li>Related “Dear God, Unscripted: Episodes</li><ul><li>33.
