Ever feel like your approach to mental health is totally different from the people around you? You may be The Owl, overthinking every decision, or The Goldfish, moving on before fully processing your emotions.

In this engaging episode of Sunburnt Souls: A Christian Mental Health Podcast, Pastor Dave Quak dives into The 10 Animal Personalities of Mental Health—a fun yet insightful framework for self-understanding. From The Dog (the support-seeking connector) to The Elephant (the deep feeler), each personality type has unique strengths and struggles.

This framework shapes the way we navigate healing, emotional regulation, relationships, and faith. Whether you're a cautious Cat, a steady Tortoise, or a flexible Chameleon, this episode will help you:

• Understand your unique mental health style and why you react the way you do.
• Identify your personality’s greatest spiritual and emotional struggle.
• Learn how your personality can best integrate faith-based mental health practices.

Listen now to understand yourself and those around you on a deeper level. Share this episode and let us know which animal you are!
