Carl Jung often expounded on scripture and held Christianity to be the truest religion. For example, he once stated, “Among all my patients in the second half of life—that is to say, over thirty-five—there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life. …and none of them has been really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.” And many Christians are attracted to his work via his descendant, Jordan Peterson. Yet while his work in psychology has proven to be wise and helpful, he makes several claims with theological significance which pose a danger to both the soul of the Christian and to the soul of the atheist.

Dr. Tanya Paynter, naturopathic doctor and apologist, explores the role doubt can play in physical and mental health. Her own crisis of faith and chronic illnesses illustrate the intricate relationship between body, mind and soul. She wrestles with the tension often felt between faith and science, between eastern worldviews and western holistic practices, and between the medical establishment and snake oil treatments. Her unique expertise in both medicine and apologetics gives her an insightful angle on discerning health claims with spiritual significance.

As a millennial parent, my reels are inundated with clips giving suggestions on how to heal one’s attachment wounds while also learning to parent one’s own children. It is easy to critique the limited sound-bites that often serve to infantilize the person and exacerbate bitterness and hurt but in this episode, I dive into the actual theory underlying the concept of reparenting. I offer a fair-minded critique based on theology and clinical experience followed by the story of my own grandparents: two people from deeply broken homes who chose a radically different sort of healing leaving a radically different legacy for their children.
