Belief Therapy is the faith-based; "lie-verses-truth" counseling process based on the premise that people do what they do because they believe what they believe. Desturctive consequent behavior lies in what a person believes. Feelings are not the cause of emotional difficulties-they are the result. Belief Therapy teaches that we feel the way we think, and we think the way we believe. It is a Biblical truth that beliefs are the primary source of our attitudes, responses, feelings and actions. If people believe lies, the lies will produce problematic thinking, that will produce darkened emotions, that will produce godless behavior. The pneumatological truth is, what a person believes is the gate through which thoughts originate, thoughts are processed, emotions formed, and then actions are taken.
Belief Therapy's primary counseling focus is on a person's belief system, i.e., discovering the lies that influence thought, emotion, and action, gaining an understanding of the spiritual condition of the mind is extremely important. The mind can be either spiritually healthy or unhealthy, so in Belief Therapy we deal with the spiritual state and dynamics of the mind.
We recognize and believe that one essential ingredient for faith-based counseling is understanding the complexity of how people change. Do all people change in the same way or at the same pace and are there identifiable stages people go through? We have discovered there are nine common processes of Change: consciousness rising, social liberation, emotional arousal, self-reevaluation, commitment, countering, environmental control, rewards, and helping relationships.
People who are successful at experiencing change follow a controllable and predictable force. At each stage of the change process, there are different dimensions of change. No one stage is more or less important than the other. The key to successful change, as a process, is knowing what stage you are in for the problem you want to overcome and using the appropriate coping skills at the appropriate stage.
In our therapeutic sessions we focus on discovering the lies people believe and replacing them with the Truth of God's Word.
