  • #5 - A (Not So) Special Boy: The "Good News" of Chris Renick

    #5 - A (Not So) Special Boy: The "Good News" of Chris Renick
    Aug 30 2023
    In Episode 5, Chris gets candid. He shares an overview of his spiritual journey and how he navigated shaping his identity and amidst battling depression. The trio explores how his upbringing, relationships (or the lack thereof), and certain Christian messages impacted Chris' core beliefs and need to belong. Chris then shares pivotal realizations and reframes that "saved" him...but from what? Meet the Therapists: Caleb Elder is an avid hiker and audiobooker who enjoys making killer cocktails and bad jokes. Professionally, Caleb works at a small group practice specializing in teens and young adults, neurodiversity and career development. Chris Renick is a DIY kind of guy who enjoys roasting coffee, building Harry Potter Lego sets, reading books, and spending time with his family in the mountains. Professionally, Chris works primarily with young adults from an existential lens. So what is an existential lens? Your choice. Mark Cadlaon is a lifelong (and currently sad) Ferrari Formula 1 fan, but distracts himself with cycling, travel, and color-coordinating his books. Professionally, Mark works in private practice counseling and neurofeedback, specializing in young adults, life transitions, anxiety, and burnout. About the Show: AND is a mental health-focused podcast taken from the perspective of three male therapists based in Denver, Colorado. AND is a safe space to explore and consider ideas from multiple (and sometimes opposing) perspectives. The space may not always feel comfortable, but by humbly holding space for one another and learning from each other’s wisdom & experience, we can be challenged to expand our own understanding as well as gain further appreciation for differing points of view.
