Why is it so important to pay attention to our bodies? God made us with physical bodies that are intricately connected to our souls. Attuning to and taking care of our bodies and minds helps us regulate our emotions and walk closer with God. The following are therapist approved exercises you can try on your daily subway ride.

In this fallen world, we experience many different types of hurt in our lives. We are particularly affected by relational wounds, since we were designed to live in community, connecting with other people and not in isolation (Gen. 2:18). Since we are more sensitive to relational wounds and none of us enjoy pain, our tendency is to put it behind us or ignore the hurt. As adults, we might decide to set boundaries with the person who hurt us, which could include completely cutting them off. And sometimes, even when we want to address unresolved issues, the person who hurt us may have died or is no longer in contact with us, and we may feel like we’re stuck with pain that has nowhere to go.

Whether due to circumstances or through our own unconscious attempts to dismiss or minimize the issues, unaddressed hurt does not go away. That pain can show up in unexpected moments, making us react in ways that throw us off or even sabotage our plans.

So we, as counselors and caregivers, should expect that we will have people coming to us who are carrying unresolved grief. We can help them acknowledge and fully name the loss. Reconciliation with the other person may not always be possible, but we can help them identify the hurt within themselves and eventually release the pain to God and receive his healing (Ps. 147:3). One way to do this is to have them write a letter to the person who hurt them. This month’s toolkit focuses on how to incorporate letter writing with the people we counsel.

A confirmed mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan that took the lives of four people, including an NYPD officer, has shaken our city and reminded us how quickly fear and sorrow can spread. In moments like these, trauma doesn’t stay contained. It moves through our neighborhoods, our hearts, and our daily lives.

We remain committed to making gospel-centered care accessible to the communities that need it most. Because healing is not just a response to a crisis. It is a continued presence of hope.

You are not alone.Reach out…We are here.

Read the July Toolkit: redeemercounseling.com/july-2025 No one likes pain. However, grieving our pain is a vital part of the healing journey. Facing our past, processing it, and accepting what has happened to us provides an opportunity for God to enter into our experience and bring us comfort. The avoidance of our pain keeps us from experiencing wholeness. As Dan Allender states, "The first great enemy to lasting change is the propensity to turn our eyes away from the wound and pretend things are fine." (The Wounded Heart)

Acknowledging the pain is an important first step in releasing its hold and moving toward lasting change. As caregivers, we hope that God works through suffering to bring healing as we walk with others through their stories of pain and suffering. This Toolkit provides a guideline for caregivers to support individuals in the process Grieving and Accepting.

Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is pause long enough to ask yourself honest questions.

Not to fix anything, just to be present. To notice. To name where you are.

God isn’t in a rush. He’s not afraid of your feelings or your silence. He’s asking, “Where are you?”
Not because He doesn’t know, but because He wants to meet you there.

Let these prompts guide you back to stillness and back to Him.

Often, what motivates people to seek help is their experience of distressing physical, emotional, and mental symptoms that impact their day-to-day lives. As Christians serving others, we may be tempted to overlook someone’s physical symptoms and only address their spiritual needs. However, both are important, and we need to consider each person holistically.

Reducing Symptoms is the process of caring for the whole person, tending to both their physical and spiritual needs, and it is an important part of loving ministry. This process aims to alleviate their physical and emotional pain so that they can have the capacity to understand and address the deeper roots of their suffering. This Toolkit shares guidance on the process of Reducing Symptoms.
