This project endeavors to share a nuanced perspective of the intersections of faith, mental health, ministry, and psychotherapy as told through the personal narrative of a Black, cisgender, heterosexual, differently-abled, “neurodivergent” clergywoman and psychotherapist living with a Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). The writer-researcher will implore ethnographic research methods such as participant-observation, archival research, interviews, and visual research methods to address the following questions: Can one live well with a SPMI and still be a faithful member of the body of Christ? How do churches receive lay members and clergy persons living with SPMIs in a manner that is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive? How do we heal church hurt that is connected to generational trauma and death-dealing theologies of mental illness? Can one be healed and delivered and live with a chronic illness? What is the role of spiritual warfare in discerning the etymology of mental illness and how does knowing the answer to this question help us know when to include faith practitioners on the integrative healthcare team of the patient? What does healing, miracles, and deliverance look like for the believer who must choose both medicine and Jesus in order to live well? This memoir is a story of healing that will bridge the gap between congregations, academic institutions, mental health agencies and clinics, and the real lives of the people they serve that live with SPMIs. Kadeisha Bonsu, is uniquely positioned to speak to these realms as a survivor of mental illness who is thriving in recovery and everything that pertains to life and godliness, through her persistent determination coupled with her pursuit of wellness through both faith in Jesus Christ and psychotherapy. Kadeisha has been healed in Jesus’ everlasting arms but also on “the couch.” She now lives and serves vocationally as both an ordained minister and mental health practitioner.
