Christian help shouldn’t be shame-based.
Your faith is your most important part of your life. But lately you’ve been feeling distant and disconnected from God. Suffering has a way of doing that.
But when you try to talk to other Christians or even biblical counselors about it, you’re left feeling shame. Maybe you hear platitudes or “advice” on how to try harder, or suffer better. You want clinically sound care, from a biblical foundation. But does that even exist?
Maybe you feel taken advantage of, but struggle to say “no.” After all, doesn’t the Bible tell us to be selfless?
Maybe you have strong feelings of anger that you wish would just go away. Plus the guilt of feeling anger in the first place.
Maybe every visit to your family leaves you feeling out of sorts and resentful. But aren’t you supposed to honor your father and mother?
—How Christian therapy helps free you from guilt cycles—
With me, you’ll learn to:
-Give from the overflow of your heart (not out of compulsion)
-Gain access to self-control, a fruit of the Spirit
-Live in alignment with your values, without giving more than you can spare
-Find relationships that spur you on to good works, not drain you
With Christian counseling, we’ll start by examining your pain points. We’ll also talk about any unwanted patterns you find yourself repeating. From there, we’ll get down to the root, the origin, for healing. “The gardener said, ‘Let’s give it another year. I’ll dig around it and fertilize, and maybe it will produce next year; if it doesn’t, then chop it down.’” -Luke 13:8-9 MSG
We’ll investigate your relationship with God, largely by talking about relationships you formed with your mom and dad, since we tend to view God through the lens of our early attachments. Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. -Psalm 22:9 NIV
You’ll learn to take care of your body, emotions, and soul well. But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. -Psalm 131:2 NIV And to check in on yourself and learn tools to regulate when you’re not okay.
Christian therapy can help you:
-Improve relationships with family members, members of the family of God, and your relationship with God
-Reconnect to your calling and start using your talents
-Prioritize the values that matter most in your life
-Reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression
-Eliminate unwanted patterns
-Trust the Holy Spirit living inside you and learn to differentiate His voice from your inner critic
You don’t have to white-knuckle life.
