When Helping Hurts: Protecting Your Mental Health While Supporting Family
Are you navigating mental health challenges in your relationship and wondering how to support your partner without losing yourself? In this video, we share three powerful, research-based strategies for helping your spouse while maintaining your own well-being— all grounded in scripture.
Here are the three key steps to guide you through this journey:
1) Educate Yourself and Communicate Openly
Learn about your partner’s mental health condition and have open, non-judgmental conversations about how you can support them. Proverbs 18:15 reminds us, "The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out."
2) Encourage Professional Treatment While Maintaining Boundaries
Support your partner’s journey by encouraging them to seek professional help, but don’t take on the role of their therapist. Galatians 6:2,5 teaches us to carry each other’s burdens, but also that everyone is responsible for their own well-being.
3) Prioritize Self-Care and Seek Support
To avoid burnout, prioritize your own mental health and seek support if needed. As Mark 12:31 says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Caring for yourself allows you to care better for your partner.
Remember, with love, patience, and faith, you can navigate mental health challenges as a team and strengthen your relationship along the way.
