Jill Phillips Gullahorn is a gifted musician, artist, and storyteller, as well as a Nashville-based therapist dedicated to helping individuals achieve health and freedom in their relationships. She guides clients toward greater self-awareness and clarity about their identities, desires, and needs for flourishing in their lives.
In our conversation, Jill shared her expertise in using a range of therapeutic approaches, from the Enneagram to EMDR, to facilitate self-discovery and inner transformation. She delved into the concept of "superhuman syndrome," exploring the origins of overfunctioning in women and how to cultivate self-compassion and freedom. Jill also discussed how shame manifests in our bodies and the power of somatic modalities to enhance self-acceptance.
Together, we reflected on our shared spiritual backgrounds and the challenges we’ve faced regarding mental well-being within Christianity. Jill highlighted the stark contrast between these experiences and the teachings of Biblical scripture, emphasizing Jesus’ example of embracing the full spectrum of human emotions.
You’ll leave this conversation feeling deeply encouraged by Jill’s wisdom, kindness, and practical insights, which offer grace-filled guidance for everyday life.
