OM DENNE EPISODE
What do you do when healing hurts? When the process feels heavier than the pain you’re trying to let go of?
In this heartfelt episode of Authentic Beyond the Couch, Jirzia Blackmon, EMDR therapist and founder of Rhapsody Counseling & Wellness Center, opens up about her personal valley season — a time marked by deep pain, confusion, and the struggle to reconcile faith with emotional healing. 🌿
Through her story and the song “Thy Will” by Hillary Scott, Jirzia shares how she learned one of the hardest truths about healing: you can’t skip the valley. You have to feel it to heal it.
