Today I got the chance to attend a lecture on "Christ-centered Emotion Focused Therapy". Here are 5 steps that summarize the process of involving Christ into our corrective emotional experience. Pretty simple, but powerful if actually done with God at the center.
1. Feel the feeling before God.
"For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." - 1 Samuel 16:7
2. Express the feeling to God.
"Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord" -Lamentations 2:19
3. Surrender the feeling to God.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
4. Transform the emotion in Christ.
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." -2 Corinthians 3:18
5. Share the work that God does in you with others.
"But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." -Hebrews 13:16
