In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Greg Gifford, author of Lies My Therapist Told Me, to examine the assumptions behind modern mental-health diagnoses, the influence of psychological labels, and the differences between secular therapeutic frameworks and biblical counseling.
Together, they discuss how our understanding of the human person shapes the way we interpret suffering, emotions, behavior, and personal struggles. They also consider the potential consequences of diagnostic labels, particularly for children, and why Christian parents need discernment when navigating testing, diagnoses, and counseling recommendations.
But this conversation goes beyond criticism. How can Christian's minister to people experiencing hardship? What role should Scripture play in understanding the human condition? And how can believers distinguish between practical help and a worldview that conflicts with biblical truth?
