Listen "055 Aaron Smith on living with mood disorder and a spirituality of being human."
Episode Synopsis
Aaron Smith is my guest for episode 55 of The Courage, Coaching and Counseling Podcast.
We talk about him growing up Christian in Utah, living with diagnosed bipolar disorder II, experiencing church hurt, and how he made the decision to get help. We discuss how starting therapy can bring up grief, his writing about mental illness since 2007, emotional health impacts spiritual health, marriage and family, being a part of an Anglican church, and his thoughts on a spirituality of being human and suffering as part of the human condition.
We had some mic issues on this interview (especially between around 23:00 and 29:20) but we resolved it.
Aaron J. Smith is a father, writer, nerd, and coffee drinker. He hates writing about himself. It’s the worst. Aaron is deeply drawn to theology and liturgy, believing that a spirituality of being human is what religion should strive for. He also likes cookies. Aaron lives just outside of Portland, OR with his wife, two boys, dog, and cat. He has been featured on several prominent websites and published anthologies.
