A Nashville area Christ-centered counseling service dedicated to helping those who are struggling with various addiction and trauma concerns. Through a multi-stage process of therapy experiences, unhealthy coping patterns are broken. A nurturing support system encourages the client through deeper work of unresolved emotional issues. As self-defeating beliefs are replaced with truth, a transforming paradigm emerges. Spiritual surrender and forgiveness empower the journey toward healthy connection with self, God, and others.

Throughout stages of childhood, an individual is challenged to develop a healthy sense of self – emotionally, spiritually, and sexually. Deep honesty and trust, healthy boundaries, and a surrendered spiritual life are all vital components of a healthy self.

 

Unfortunately, individuals often bring "emotional baggage" into adult life. Such issues as unresolved resentments, fear of rejection and abandonment, history of abuse, sexual trauma, and addictions create barriers to emotional health. For many, the healthy expression of needs and feelings was not adequately modeled in their families of origin. The result is a disconnection with themselves, God, and others that robs them of the abilities to share their true selves and to receive love from others.

 

As a result, destructive life patterns may emerge that:

 

— Thrive upon fear and shame;

— Encourage isolation, resentment, deception, and/or addictive behaviors; and

— Involve sexual compulsion, sexual anorexia, and/or other sexual issues.
