Part Two: Overcoming Toxic Emotions

Toxic emotions can be overwhelming, but there are ways to overcome them if we have the right tools in place. When you are experiencing toxic emotions or relationships, it is important to take a step back and start with prayer first, then follow through with the POINT acronym. This will help you find clarity, wisdom, and guidance from the Lord. It will also help you identify your role in the situation and be authentic in your interactions. The way we react to negative thoughts and feelings has a huge impact on how well we recover from them.

Join the conversation with me, Lisa, and my co-host Dr. Lidia Martinez as we share more about toxic emotions and how you can resolve them in a Godly way by using the POINT acronym. Slowing down, praying for wisdom, and knowing your role can help you take the right action toward healing.
