I recently read Caroline Leaf’s latest books where she talks about working through difficult issues with her 5 Cycle process. Whether you need to work through past hurts, or you are trying to eliminate negative thought patterns, this practice works. While it was AWESOME, I felt the need to “de-psychologize it,” and I am in the field. This seems more user-friendly for us average folks
So the first thing you do is to decide to
Deal with it. By that, you pray and ask the Lord to open you up to
Feel the pain-not always a welcome choice, but a necessary one. As you Feel the pain, you put your pen to the page and write about what you are feeling. Don’t hold back. Let the feelings flow.
As you write, you
Kneel, not necessarily literally, but you kneel as you invite God too the process. Prayerfully ask Him for His perspective on what happened in your life. And as you continue to write, listen closely and He will…
Reveal His perspective to you and any insight about your circumstances from His divine point of view. That insight is your
Heal—Embrace God’s takeaway on your pain. It will change everything about how you think and feel about your situation.
You will read everything you have written for 21 days. I find the Lord continues to reveal things and I write them in the margins—so leave room when you write the first time. Read what you have under Heal for an additional 42 days so that you have read it for 3 cycles of 21 days to set it in your long-term memory where it can actually change your behavior.
If you find yourself unable to breakout of behavior that continues to rob your joy, here is a workshop for you:

This workshop is a ten-hour intensive that would cost over $1000 plus at today’s counseling rate. I got so much help in a focused amount of time. I received tools to unpack baggage that has held me back for years~ Lisa
I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve never been to counseling, and I’m not really a workshop-kind-of-guy, but during the two days I was able to identify the reason for my anger and get rid of it. I am a much happier person now, and because of that, my wife and kids are too~Derek
