Christian therapeutic retreat

The prime purpose of a Christian therapeutic retreat is to target, with God's help, the most significant problem areas. Then through a healing encounter with God achieve emotional healing and life transformation.

Personal Christian retreats allow individuals to identify, understand and get healing for fundamental issues - issues rooted in early childhood. This is not to blame parents but to understand one's history and the beliefs and feelings rooted in one's history.

An experienced Christian Therapist is skilled a pattern recognition. At a Christian therapy retreat expert pattern recognition saves time and allows issues to be identified quickly. So more gets done in less time. Sessions are interesting and relevant.

With God's help a Christian therapeutic retreat can be a a time of discovery of new patterns and new methods of bringing inner and emotional healing to individuals.

I bring a variety of modalities of therpeutic perspectives to an emotional healing retreat. I have read extensively and received training from masters in Reality Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Psychodrama. These different approaches provide perpectives that are sometimes helpful.

During Christian Retreats for Depression I make use of the insights of John and Paula Sandford regarding the Human Spirit. Depression can be modelled as interference in the flow of life into the human spirit.

During a retreat I aim to bring about healing encounters with God especially so old patterns of personality can die and one's new identity in Christ be recognized and strengthened.
