In biblical counseling for trauma, finding hope begins with acknowledging pain and surrendering it to God.

This is not quick, and it is certainly not easy. For some this can be a long and painful process. A counselor should be the one who can sit with you here for as long as you need.

But through prayer, scripture, and a supportive community, one discovers the transformative power of faith, leading to healing and renewed hope in God’s guiding grace. 🙏💖

What effects your daily life more than anything else?

Say it LOUD! YOU ARE NOT A Mental Illness.

You are a courageous humble person who battles with alcoholism.

You are a kind and loving mom who battles depression.

You are a diligent and hard working student who needs extra support to work around your ADHD.

You are a successful and talented businessman who has to manage fatigue.

When someone asks you to describe yourself. You are not that thing that you battle!

We have had intense amounts of rain in Auckland this week! There have been slips galore all over the city. Mountain sides and strong foundations literally just falling.

There is nothing as rattling and scary as one of the most trusted things around you suddenly not being trustworthy.

A mountain for example!

But what about when it’s your best friend? Or your partner? Or your church? Or your job?

Psalm 46 urges us to direct our gaze from seemingly immovable things to the only immovable God.

“Therefor we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.”

What starts fights among you? Is it not from a desire that hasn’t been met? Or something you want and didn’t get? (James 4)

The heart change that can come from realize you want to love your family but DON’T is the most significant change I have ever seen.

60 minutes of joy!

Moms, care takers, health care workers… THIS is not selfish! We soften fail to see how caring for others requires care for self!

If you were running a marathon you would understand that if you don’t slow the pace, hydrate and care for your cramping muscles you won’t make it to the end.

This is literally the same if you are in a position of having other humans rely on you. You need to slow down, care for yourself, take a breath and find 60 minutes of joy!

Your day might be jam packed with sad and hard stuff…. Just dig…. demand that 60 minutes of joy for you. It’s what will get you to the end.

NO!

If you grew up in the church you probably heard comments like “so and so went to counselling, if they just read the Bible they would have been fine”. Leaving you with this sense that only backsliden Christians would go to a counselor 🤦🏻‍♀️

So what does a counselor provide that your pastor may not?

If you have been burdened and feeling like you just need more reach out!

I have slots available starting in January and would like to talk to you!

SO many of my clients have had this struggle where they have been pressured to go against their conscience.

In Romans 14 Paul confronts the Romans because they had not been respecting each other’s consciences. In the age of blog warfare and internet debating we have forgotten that it is OKAY to have slightly different convictions and opinions.

Respect others!

And most important, honor God by respecting yourself!
