Soul Healing Love Soul Healing Love

We all have conscious and unconscious stories, reels, automatic reactions that are pasty of a bigger story we tell ourself. Brene brown describes a cu flight she had with her husband and from that fight forward they always say “the story I’m telling myself right now is…”

So what stories are you telling yourself? That are actually part of a current neural network that you can change. Dr. Bev recounts some of the soul wound stories she heard spoken over her and how she began to rewrite her brain.
And Dr. Tom shares wisdom he read of years ago that said “we view life through the presence or absence of negative” so what is your filter? What are you looking for?

Once you realize the stories, how can you change these stories? First, bring awareness to your current story and then realize that you can now make new choices to do things differently. As these stories get activated, they are also clues to your soul wounds. Retelling and recontexting a new story helps you live a more fulfilled life free of past wounding.

Drs. Tom and Bev discuss principles behind Neuroplasticity, which is the ability to change and reshape your brain.
Brain formation that  was once thought to be set and unchangeable in childhood - which kept Amanda from any heavy metal head banging - we now know is possible to change well into our lives.
Neurogenesis, building new brain connections, is something that happens all the time. They also discuss neuroscience work from Dr. Caroline Leaf and Dr. Joe Dispenza that helps us to understand that our thoughts are powerful. Our thoughts dictate our emotions, and both thoughts and emotions dictate what body chemicals, good or bad, are released that then shape our chemistry AND our DNA expression.
By changing our thoughts we can change our brain’s neural wiring along with our bodies gene expression and biochemical state.

Current data trends indicate we as a culture are getting diagnosed more and more with mental health struggles. Be it Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Addiction, or anything else—so many more people are struggling today.
 In this episode we share what it’s like sitting in the therapist’s chair helping clients face today’s dilemmas.
Dr. Tom shares a fascinating question from a client, “What makes you happy?” that he, Amanda, and Dr. Bev discuss.
Dr. Bev addresses how the stigma around mental health has seemed to lessen, as she has seen people previously resistant to therapy come in recently.
Whatever your current mental health, listen in as we offer trends, tips, and awareness to help you move toward a more resilient life.

Often, the focus in counseling and psychology is on the PROBLEM... but what are the hallmarks of a Healthy Life?
Join in on the conversation as Drs. Tom and Bev discuss a list of basic needs that they have created over years of talking to people who have found these commonly missing in wounded living.
This list also addresses Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: when the base needs of Safety and Security are not first addressed, the others cannot follow.
Further, if you did not have these needs met in childhood, it is difficult to offer them to yourself and others, or to even feel worthy of offering these things to yourself.
As you listen to these basic needs defined, begin to reflect on how well you offer these first to yourself, and then to others.

Are you kind and compassionate toward yourself or do you have a harsh inner critic?
We can develop a harsh inner critic from people on our lives-parents, pastors, teachers-who expected perfection while forgetting a core principle Jesus taught was how to love well.
This episode talks about confronting your harsh inner critic with grace and forgiveness. Amanda is joined by Drs. Tom and Bev as they discuss tips to offer yourself forgiveness and reflect on Jesus’ story of that Good Samaritan as a healthy example of self-love received from God and then given to others.
They also discuss self-compassion principles from Dr. Kristin Neff that help to build a healthy sense of love and compassion toward one’s self.

A wiseman once said, “Those who do not deal with their past are destined to repeat it.”
There is neurobiological proof that this can happen. In the Soul Healing Love Model we say, “If you don’t deal with your past, it will come back to bite you!”
People often avoid going back and looking at past hurts honestly because they do not want to live in that painful place again. So, they avoid, blame others, get anxious or depressed.
This podcast encourages you to look at the past with
the help of the Holy Spirit so you can see themes, patterns or blueprints that have served us in the past but are actually damaging us in our current relationships.

1. Recognize and heal past hurts and trauma through experiencing the Soul Healing Love
of Christ along with sound tools and techniques

3. Enhance Self-Esteem
4. Bring about understanding of self and others.
5. Retrain the mind to focus on the positive instead of the negative and re-tell your story
from God’s perspective.
6. Reduce reactivity and develop intentionality
7. Foster forgiveness, let go of the baggage from the past that holds you back.
