Introduction If you've been through counseling or prayer for depression, PTSD or other emotional problems, the process we'll outline in this book will be very different from what you might be accustomed to. The steps we'll ask you to follow are likely to be less les s s tress tres s ful than th an any a nyth thiing y ou’ve ou ’ve enco en coun unte tered red before. be fore. This isn’t a comprehensive book on emotional healing. It is however, a place to begin the process of receiving healing o the emotional trauma you’ve suffered in the past. Rather than write a book which covers the subject from various angles, this book bo ok is narr na rrow ow in s cope co pe.. It focus focu s es on a s pecif pe cifiic type ty pe o emotional trauma—one that is most commonly found in the general population—and offers a quick method to remove it perm pe rman anen ently tly..

Nearly Nearly everyo ev eryone ne I’ve I’ve ministe nis tered red to us ing thi th is approach app roach has h as remark remarked ed at how ho w power po werful ful the th e resul resu lts were. were. This book does not address the subject of deliverance. While I acknowledge that many (perhaps most) people who suffer from emotional trauma also have some level of demonization, it’s my intent to focus exclusively on emotional healing. There are many books that have been written on the subject o deli deliverance and I’ve included included a lengthy length y chapter cha pter on that t hat s ubj ub ject Divine ne Heali Hea ling ng Ma Made de Simpl S implee . I do intend to write a in my my boo b ook k Divi more comprehensive book in the future on emotional healing
and deliverance. As you follow the method I’ll describe, you’re free to use whatever deliverance techniques you’re accustom accus tomed ed to, to , though thoug h you y ou may not n ot need n eed them th em.. In In many many cases , the th e em e moti ot ional on al healing healing itsel ts elff can remov removee demon demonss effectively effectively.. I’ve read many of the books that have been written on emotional healing and I’ve reviewed many of the current approaches being used in Christian ministry. Included in the methods I’ve become familiar with are Sozo which was Immanue uell Prayer Pray er , Liebu Lieb u sting sti ng , developed by Bethel Church, Imman Theophostic , as well as the approaches used by Freedom Encounters and the teaching series developed by Elijah House Heal ing g Trau Trauma ma . called Healin Although all of the approaches in use today have a degree o effectiveness, most of them take several hours—and in some cases—days or weeks to complete. I needed to find a method that could effectively heal emotional trauma in a ten minute ambulance transport and none of these offer a quick method for healing. After receiving my own emotional healing and after my wife received hers, we began comparing the elements of the different approaches in use today. There were a few common elements that nearly all the different approaches relied upon. I took the handful han dful of steps step s they had in com co mmon and developed developed a s hort process based bas ed on them. them. I tri tried thi th is new approach approach on o n one o ne perso pe rson n after anot an othe herr and an d the th e results res ults were were s hocki ho ckin n g. Nearly Nearly everyone experienced a significant level of healing of the pai pa inful nfu l memories emories fro fro m their th eir pas p astt and an d the th e emot emotiions on s ass as s oci oc iated at ed with with them th em..
Over the last year I’ve used this approach on over 100 people. Some of the healing sessions were done over Skype, some were done in person and many (probably half) were done over internet chat. It didn’t seem to matter whether I was with the perso pe rson n or not. no t. The results res ults were were jus t as effect effectiive over ov er internet nt ernet chat as in person or over Skype. The method can be done by ust about anyone and requires no formal training. It can be done don e jus justt about abo ut anywher an ywheree and in mos mostt cases cas es it onl on ly takes a few minutes. The great thing about this method is that after s omeone omeone has been healed, healed, they can easi eas ily be taught tau ght to t o us e the same method to help someone else receive healing. It also works well for healing new emotional wounds that happen in our ou r dail daily inter nte raction actionss with others. oth ers. I used this approach with one woman who had been through 20 years of o f couns eli eling. ng . She She s aid aid the t he coun co unss eli eling didn didn’’t hel h elp p her h er at all. After a 15-minute chat with her over the internet, the pai pa inful nfu l emot emotiio ns from from the th e s exua exuall abus ab us e s he s uffered as a chi ch ild were gone. She couldn’t believe it. She was so impressed with the results she immediately used what I had taught her to get her husband healed of his emotional trauma. I used this approach with another woman over internet chat. She sai s aid d s he had h ad been b een throug t hrough h every ev ery ki kind of emotional emotional heali healing avai ava ilable, multi multiple ple deli deliverance veran ce ses s esss ions on s , and years y ears of prayer for for healing of various problems. “I’ve repented of every sin I can think of, renoun eno unced ced ever ev eryth ythiing under un der the s un and I’ve forgiven forgiven everyone who has ever hurt me and I still feel like hell.” She was very skeptical that I had anything to offer. We used my quick approach and when we were done she was astounded. The anger and all the other painful emotions she had wrestled
with for years were completely gone. She felt better than she ever remembered feeling. Then she asked how long it would last. She couldn’t believe something this simple could have a lasting effect. I got in touch with her several weeks later and s he was s til till feeli eeling just us t as good goo d as the day d ay s he was heal h ealed. ed.
Emotional Healing Dynamics Our soul is shaped every day by the interactions we have with each other. Every video we watch, all the interactions we have with our family and coworkers, and every encounter we have with God has an impact on the person we are becoming. I'm not suggesting as ancient phi ph ilos ophe op hers rs did, that th at we are the th e s um of our ou r exp exp erien eriences ces . However, the person we are today is largely a product of our past experiences. And if we have emotional or beha be havioral vioral problem pro blemss toda to day y, they th ey are likely kely the th e resu res u lt of things things that happened in our o ur past. The events of our past affect the way we feel, behave, and interact in the present. If we want to change our current beha be havior vior and an d emot emotiions on s , we n eed to chan ch ange ge the th e way the th e pas pa s t has ha s affect affected ed us . W hile hile we can't can 't chan ch ange ge the th e even ev ents ts of the past, we can change the way in which those events affect affect the th e way we li live today. to day. The way in which we respond to present conflicts was shaped in our soul during our youth. When we faced one event and one challenge after another, we developed ways of responding to them. Sometimes we developed an appropriate response and sometimes not. Most of these coping behaviors are ones that we learned from our
parent pa rentss . If Jesus Jes us was not no t a part pa rt of our ou r life when we were were three years old for example, we learned to respond to such events without thou t the th e li light of God God to guide guide us u s . And althou although gh we may have the light of God in us today, our patterns of thinking and behavior have been etched in our soul before that light was present, and it's likely that we're still responding in ways that were developed in relative darkness. This is not to deny the reality that we are a new creation when we are born again. At the moment when the Holy Spirit takes up residence in us, we are given a brand new life. But all our wounds from the past—both physical and emotional—are not immediately healed. The healing of our body bo dy and an d sou s oull is a proces proc esss that th at takes t akes ti t ime. When we are young, we learn to respond to the events of life with a wide range of emotions. If we react with joy to a specific event, a memory of the event is recorded in our soul along with a record of the emotion. Later, when a similar event happens, even though we may not consciously recall the previous event, we may associate the two events and their emotions and react to the new event eve nt with joy. If If we we cont co ntiinue nu e to react to t o s imilar events even ts with with oy, oy, a lear learned ned respons resp ons e develops develops which hich tends ten ds to ens en s ure the s ame ame respon resp onss e to futur utu re events ev ents that are are s imilar. ar. If on the other hand, an event like being bitten by a dog causes us to react with fear, it will leave a memory and a wound in our soul associated with fear. The wound, the
memory and the emotion are all connected. Events that we percei pe rceive ve to be s imilar can acti act ivate va te or trigger the wounded part pa rt of the th e s oul ou l. Later at er,, when we’re we’re appro ap proach ached ed by a dog, do g, the wounded part of the soul can be triggered along with its emot emotiion of fear fear,, even thou th ough gh the th e dog d og may be b e fri friendly en dly.. When we experience sudden rage in the present, it's often the result of a wound in our soul related to an event from our past being triggered that causes us to feel rage. When we experience rejection, doubt, or any other negative emotion in response to an event, there is usually a wound in our soul being triggered which causes us to experience the th e emot emotiion we're e're prese p resent ntlly feeling feeling.. God the Father Because they are emotional immature, children lack the kind of Godly wisdom required to properly assign meaning to emotionally traumatic events. For a three year old, something as simple as being locked in a closet for ten minutes can be extremely traumatic. A three year old doesn’t have the capacity to understand that they will eventually be let out of the closet. It’s not unusual for children this young to imagine they will never get out the closet.
When Wh en we re-vi re-viss it event ev entss from our ou r past pas t with with the perspecti persp ective ve we had as a chi ch ild (it's (it's general ge nerallly impo imposs s ible to view them th em otherwi ot herwiss e) it's often difficult to see anything positive in them. But when the same events are viewed through the eyes of God the
Father, we can receive His perspective and wisdom on them. His perspecti persp ective ve imparts the wis dom do m we need n eed today to day to properly properly frame the event and assign meaning to it. In the process o emotional healing, it’s been my experience that the person o God the Father acts as the one who imparts the right persp pe rspect ectiive o n a traum trau mati at ic even ev ent. t. This is not no t a hard ha rd and an d fast fas t rule, but a general guideline to use if you need a divine persp pe rspect ectiive on o n an even ev ent. t. Jesus The role Jesus plays in redeeming our past is generally the healer. One of the things that was prophesied about the ministry of Jesus was that He would carry away our griefs and sorrows:
"Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. (Is. 53:4)
This passage says that Jesus bore (carried away) our griefs and sorrows. Griefs and sorrows are painful emotions. And i He has alr already bor bo rne them t hem for us, us , then it's it's not no t neces ne cesss ary for for us to bear them any more. The next verse says, "… and by His stripe stri pess we are are heal he aled ed." ." The healing Jesus offers us is both phys ph ys ical and an d emot emotiional. on al. Emoti ot ional on al heali he aling ng is a matte at terr o allowing Him to take our painful emotions from us. The approach I use for emotional healing is to literally have people ask Jesus to take their sadness, their rejection, their anger, or any othe ot herr negative nega tive emot emotiion from from them th em.. Jesus can also serve in different roles in the healing process.
Like the Father, He’s able to show us a divine perspective of a traumatic event. Many times, during a prayer session, people will see in their mind’s eye a scene where Jesus is with them comfor comforting ting them t hem or crying crying with with them th em duri du ring ng the th e even ev ent. t. The Holy Spirit Many people have amnesia about the traumatic events of their pas pa s t. A mn esi es ia regardi rega rding ng emo emo tional tion al traum trau ma can be a kind kind o bless bles s ing. ng . If you yo u can't can 't recal reca ll an even ev ent, t, it's hard ha rd for fo r the th e enem en emy y to remi emind you yo u of o f it it and an d caus ca usee you y ou to feel s hame hame or o r condem cond emnation nation over it. This amnesia seems to be a protective mechanism designed by God to keep extremely painful memories from affecting the entire soul. But if you can’t recall an event, it's hard to gain the Father's perspective on it. Some people have vague negative feelings that are hard to identify precisely. It's difficult to ask Jesus to take negative emotions from you, i you’r yo u’ree unable un able to ide ident ntiify them. them.
Many times we experience painful emotions or exaggerated emotional responses and have no idea what causes them. In s uch cases , an emoti emotional onal woun wound d is bei b eing ng expos expos ed, but not the pas pa s t even ev entt tha t hatt caus ca us ed it. It's my my beli b elief ef that th at God God wil will allo allo w us to feel the emotion but not recall the event as a way to bring the issue to light so we'll seek healing of it. The pain we feel can drive us to seek relief with drugs, alcohol, sex and other things but bu t that th at's 's not no t what God inten nt ends ds . His His purpo pu rposs e is to have ha ve the th e wound in our soul healed and the emotion removed, perm pe rman anen ently tly.. Healing of emotional pain comes when we identify traumatic events, give the emotions associated with them to Jesus and
ask him to heal the wound in our soul. But if an event can't be remembered, there is a way to jar our memory. Jesus said this about abo ut the th e Holy Holy Spiri Spirit: "I will pray to the Father and He will give you another elper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit o truth... He will teach you all things, and bring to your remem emembrance brance all a ll thing t hingss that I said said to you." (Jn (Jn 14:16, 26)
The cure for amnesia of the events from our past is the Holy Spiri Spirit. t. When W hen we vis vis it our o ur pas pa s t with with the th e Holy Holy Spir Spirit, He is is abl ab le to to bring bring to our ou r remem remembran brance ce thi th ings ng s we've we've forgott forgo tten en.. W hen he n He uncovers traumatic events, we may feel and understand the emotions associated with them. Once the memories have been retrieved, the Father can give us His perspective on them. Jesus can take way the painful emotions and heal the wounds left in in our o ur sou s oull by them th em..
My Emotional Healing One day whil while at work work, a num nu mber of sm s mall all thi th ings ng s happ ha ppene ened d that t hat woul ou ld nor no rmall ally not n ot caus cau s e me me much much s tress . As they happen hap pened ed I felt a little anger beginning to build. I told myself I was not going to let these things make me angry. Despite this, I spent most of the day in a very angry mood. Fortunately, I was able to sit quietly in the ambulance most of the day and my anger didn’t didn’t have an opportuni op portunity ty to hurt anyone. anyon e. At this time, I worked with a partner who had a way of doing his job that seemed to push every button I had. I often found mys elf elf bei be ing angry an gry over ov er som so me li littl tt le thi th ing that th at he h e did. I began be gan to wonder if perhaps God put us together to help me deal with s ome ome problem p roblem I was was s truggli trug gling ng with. th . I’d spent a lot of nights venting my frustration to my wife who was always sympathetic. One problem with having supportive friends is that they’ll sometimes try to justify your sin. I had accepted her justification for my moments of rage, but I felt like there was something causing it that needed to be dealt with. As I refl eflected on pas t events that caused the angry angry outbursts, ou tbursts, I realized they were all triggered by a similar set o circumstances. One sign that you have an emotional wound is when you overreact to a certain type of situation repeatedly. An example is if you’re usually an easy-going person that seldom gets
angry. When certain situations repeatedly trigger the same type of response—in this case an overreaction of anger— there’s a wound in your soul that’s causing this over reaction. Some people describe it as feeling like they’ve temporarily beco be com me anot an othe herr pers pe rson on.. I posted about this problem on social media one day and received received a mes messs age ag e from from a grateful g rateful woman oman who s aid aid s he fina finallly under und erss tood s omethi omething ng about ab out her husband hus band that had h ad puz pu zzled her for years. Their family had a tradition of taking weekend vacations to the Oregon coast. Her husband was normally a very easy going man, but every time they went to the coast, he turned into a different person. She described his behavior as bei be ing almos almos t like a bratty brat ty teen te enag ager er.. He was unco un coop operative erative and an d argumentative the whole time they were at the coast. When they th ey returned retu rned hom h ome, e, his his demean demeanor or wen wentt back b ack to norm n ormal al.. This type of behavior is usually due to the triggering o memories of past experiences, which causes wounded parts o our soul to emerge and take control of our mind. Our behavior beco be com mes like that th at of the th e pers pe rson on we were were at the th e time time the th e emotional trauma occurred. It’s been said that time heals all wounds, but the truth is that time doesn’t heal emotional wounds. Rather than being healed over time, emotional trauma can plague us our entire life. Emotional trauma creates a wound in our soul much like a flying piece of metal can cause a wound to our skin. Although our skin has a way to heal the wounds it receives, our soul does do esn’t n’t have hav e the th e abili ability to heal its itsel elff.
po tent ntia ial l to Emotional trauma has the pote to affect affect the th e enti en tirre sou s oull, but God designed a way to limit the damage of emotional trauma by fragment mentss. A allowing the soul to create what are known as frag fragment is a part of the soul that contains the memories and emot emotiions on s of a traum t raumatic atic event eve nt.. It’ It’ss like a part of o f our ou r personali perso nality ty that’s been frozen in time. Fragments prevent the wounded parts pa rts o f the th e s oul ou l from from beco be com ming the th e dom do minant na nt influe nfluenc ncee over ov er the core of the soul. In effect, the fragmenting of the soul compartmentalizes the wounds and minimizes the damage that can be done don e to the res res t of the soul s oul..
Fragments usually only have awareness of a single event or a string of repeated events and their related emotions. The fragment normally lies dormant in the soul until an event occurs that is reminiscent of the one that caused the fragment to be created. When one of these events happens, the fragment can be triggered and it may take control of the soul. When this happens, the person responds the way they would at the age they were when the fragment was created. If the fragment was formed as a toddler, the person may crawl on the floo floorr or try try to t o hi h ide behind be hind furniture. If If the fragm fragment ent was created as a teenager, the person may act like a rebellious 13-year-old. The emotions they display are not appropriate for the current s ituati tua tion on.. Ins Instead tead,, they are are the th e emotions emotions that tha t were were experi experienced enced at the t he ti t ime the th e frag fragm ment en t was created c reated.. Soul fragments have as their main goal the protection of the core personality. A soul fragment will assume control when they perceive there is a threat to the individual. When a traumatized person has an experience that the fragment percei pe rceive vess to be a threat, th reat, the t he frag fragm ment en t tak ta kes over ov er cont co ntrol rol of the t he
mind, will and emotions, and the individual reacts to the situation from the wounded perspective of the fragment. The actions of a soul fragment are usually an overreaction to the situation. Soul fragments have less understanding of what is nor no rmal and acceptable accept able behavi behav ior as compared compared to the core of the perso pe rson n ality. ality. W hen he n the th e threat th reat goes go es away the th e core co re of the th e s oul ou l regains control con trol,, the fragment agment once on ce agai ag ain n becom beco mes dor do rmant, and an d the th e ind indiividual vidua l functi funct ions on s norm no rmal allly again. a gain. I know a woman who had a terrible fear of going into bas ba s emen ements ts . When Wh en I ask as ked why s he had h ad th t h is fear, fear, she sh e said s aid it it was becau be causs e s he had ha d been be en moleste oles ted d by her he r uncles un cles in a bas ba s emen ementt when she was a child. At the time she was molested, a part o her sou s oull was wound ou nded ed which hich created created a fragm fragment ent dom do minated nate d by by fear (and probably shame and guilt). Today, whenever she thinks about going into a basement, the fragment is triggered and she feels fear and the other emotions associated with that event. A simi similar but bu t di d ifferent fferent part p art of the th e sou s oull that th at is created by trauma trauma is known as an alter . Like a fragment, an alter retains memories and emotions of specific events, but unlike fragments, alters can have unique personalities of their own that are distinctly different from the core of the personality. A person with many alters is usually diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID (DID), ), or what was once on ce call c alled ed Mul Mu ltiple Pers Pers o nal na lity Dis Dis order ord er.. A severely traumatized person can have hundreds, or even thous thou s ands of alter alterss . When Wh en an al a lter is is trigg triggered ered by b y an a n even e vent, t, the th e ind indiividual vidua l’s wil will and emotions come under the control of the alter. The person

The core perso pe rson n ality ality s omet ometiimes feels feels like an obs ob s erver erve r to what is happening to them, instead of the participant. Some describe it as like having someone drive their car while they watch from the rear seat. Sometimes the core personality is completely unaware of what’s happening to them—a condition known as dissociation. When the event passes and the core assumes control again, it’s not unusual for them to have no idea what they s aid aid or o r did did duri d uring ng the epi ep is ode. The goal of emotional healing is to heal the fragments and alters and to reintegrate them into the soul, preventing future episodes of painful emotions and disassociation. Just prior to the day I received my emotional healing, I had been having moments where a fragment was taking over control of my mind, and it was causing me to overreact in anger. While thinking about abo ut it and an d praying praying for underst un derstand andiing, ng , I became became aware aware that th at my anger ang er was related elated to t o a seri s eries es of traum traumati aticc events even ts that happen hap pened ed when I was a teenager. I finally accepted the fact that I needed to be heal h ealed ed of o f the trauma. trauma. A friend named Matt Evans, who had done a lot of emotional healing, saw my post on Facebook about my need for emot emotiional on al heali healing. ng . He He s ent en t me me a mess es s age ag e as king if I had time time to to talk the following day. We talked on the phone the next day for about 2 hours. During our phone conversation he took me through throug h the th e process proces s of emotional emotional healing healing.. There is one general point I’d like you to consider: In order to heal the wounded soul, the part of the soul that is wounded
and/or fragmented must be allowed to take over temporary control of the mind, will, and emotions. This means you will usual us uallly have to go back b ack to an event in the past p ast that causes the emotion to be felt strongly. In order to receive healing, the wounded soul fragment must usually meet Jesus and receive heali he aling ng and an d ins truction truc tion from from Him Him. The fir firs t s tep Matt had me take was was to go back to a place place in in my my life where I could feel the anger again. This was not hard to do. There were were man many y places in my mind where he re I could go g o back bac k and relive an event that would bring up the emotion of anger. Matt had me go back to one of the earliest events. When I was feeling the emotion from that event, he had me say some short prayers pray ers,, which which I’ll I’ll lis t below b elow.. One One thi th ing he reques requ este ted d of o f me me was to resist the temptation to over think the situation. Emotional healing is a purely emotional issue and when you attempt to rationalize or think about what’s happening it distracts your mind from connecting with the emotions you need to feel. Matt urged me me not no t to think too much about abo ut what we were were doi do ing. ng . Here ere is is the process Matt us ed: 1. I recall recalled an event eve nt that t hat was troubli trou bling ng me and identif den tifiied the s tronges t negat n egatiive em e motion I was abl ab le to feel, eel, whi which ch happened happen ed to be anger ang er.. 2. I conf con fess es s ed to God God that t hat my my anger ang er was a si s in. (N (Not every ev ery emot emotiion is s inful.

5. We felt felt li like Jesus Jes us wanted to gi g ive me me som s ometh ethiing in return retu rn for gi g iving Him Him my ange an gerr.

So So I asked as ked Him Him to give me peac p eacee in excha exchang ngee for my my ang a nger er and I rreceived eceived His His peace. pea ce. 6. I ask as ked Jesus Jesu s to t o heal the wound in my sou s oull. When Wh en we were were done with this pr p roces s , Matt as ked me me to recall ecall the event again and try to feel the emotions from it. I was very surprised when I recalled the event. I found that I could not feel the anger. I could remember the event itself, but the anger was gone. The fact that th at I coul cou ld no longer on ger feel feel the anger ang er fr from the event even t led me to believe I really was healed. The healing seems to be perm pe rman anen entt as I have ha ven’t n’t felt felt ang an g er bei be ing trigg triggered ered like I o nce nc e did. did. This This is not no t to t o s ay that t hat I’ll never nev er again again get g et angry an gry.. That’s That’s not no t what emotional healing does.

When Wh en I arri arrived ved at work the next day, my partner, who had worked with me for the previous year, said he was being transferred to another unit. I couldn’t help but think that God had finally accomplished in me what he wanted with this partner and it was time time for me me to t o have h ave a new n ew one. one .
Emotional Emotional Heal H ealing ing in the Ambulance The day after I received my healing, I went on a call to an emer emergen gency cy depar dep artm tment ent to transpo trans porrt a youn yo ung g woman oman for ment mental al health treatment. We arrived early and as I waited for her to be ready for the transport, I read the transcript dictated by the s ocial work worker who who intervi nt erviewed ewed her h er.. Her Her depress dep ress ion and s uicidal uicidal thoug tho ughts hts began beg an a year y ear and a hal h alff earl earlier after after she sh e had her chil child. She suffered from postpartum depression that never went away away.. Si Since her h er chil child had h ad been b een born, b orn, she sh e had s everal outbu ou tburrs ts of extreme anger. In one incident she punched holes through the wall of her apartment. In another incident she almost s tabbed tabb ed her he r hus hu s band ban d with with a kni kniffe. She had come come to the th e hos pital pital this time for treatment of depression and suicidal thoughts broug bro ught ht on by anot an othe herr inci nc ident de nt with with her he r hus hu s band ba nd where s he was overcome by feelings of anger and tried to push him into traffic. I also read through her history where she said she had been be en moles moleste ted d as a teen te enag ager er.. As I read her report, it became obvious that she was suffering from the same thing I had just been healed of. It seemed like she had a wounded or fragmented soul that was temporarily taking control during certain events and she was reacting with exaggerated anger. We loaded her in the ambulance and I spent the first ten minutes of the transport telling her about my own struggles with anger and how I had been healed the day
before. be fore. She lis tene te ned d inten nt ently tly and an d I could co uld tel te ll that th at my tes te s timon timony y was giving her hope. As I came to the end of my testimony, I asked her a direct question: “I know you were molested as a teenag teen ager er.. Do Do you y ou want hi h im to die?” “I don’t want him to die a violent death. I just want him to die and go away away.” .” “My friend got go t me me heal he aled ed and a nd I think think we we can get you yo u heal h ealed,” ed,” I replied. “The first thing I did was go back to one of the events where I could feel the anger. Then he led me in a few prayers. When we were done, he had me go back again and try to feel the th e ange an gerr from from the th e even ev ent, t, but bu t I coul cou ldn’t dn ’t feel feel it it any an y more. more. I coul cou ld recall the experiences but I couldn’t feel the anger. So here’s my ques qu esti tion on:: Woul ou ld you y ou like to be heal h ealed ed of o f your anger?” ang er?” “Yes I wou woulld,” she s he repli replied as s he put p ut out ou t her h er hand. I took hold of it. “I need you yo u to t o go g o back b ack in you y ourr mind to an incident that t hat creates creates a feeling feeling of ange an gerr.

“Lord, I ask you to take this anger from me and give me your peace pe ace in return.” retu rn.” “I ask as k you to heal h eal the wound in my my soul s oul caused by anger an ger and I receive receive your yo ur heal hea ling.” ng .” She repeated everything I said. “Okay, now I want you to go back ba ck and an d try to feel the th e emo emo tions tion s fro fro m any an y of the t he even ev ents ts .” She Sh e sat there for a moment then looked at me in shock. “Crazy, huh?” hu h?” I s aid. aid. “You “You can’t can ’t feel feel the th e ange an gerr any more, can you y ou?” ?” She immediately realized she was healed and her mind was already thinking about how this approach could be used for other problems. “Do you yo u think t hink it it woul wou ld work for other oth er emot emotiions on s ?” “Like what?” “Sadness.” “I think it will work for any emotion that you don’t want. God can give you y ou s ometh omethiing in ex e xchang ch angee for what what you yo u gi g ive Him Him. So So if you give Him your sadness, He may give you His joy in return. If you give Him your feelings of rejection, He may give you His acceptance. I think this is something you can do yourself. I mean, you’re going to be sitting here for a couple o days day s withou th outt much much to do. do . You may want to t o si s it qui qu ietly and talk with God and ask as k Hi Him to heal hea l you of all thi th is s tuff tu ff.” .” We arrived at the hospital and got her registered. Before we left, she thanked me for taking the time to help her. This was my
first first attem att empt pt at doing d oing em e moti ot ional on al heal he aliing with one on e of o f my my patients p atients and it seemed to be successful. The amazing thing is that it didn’t take two hours but only ten minutes. In many cases, emot emotiional on al healing healing is n’t hard h ard or o r compli complicat cated ed.. I realize that this may not be true for every person or for every situation. Sometimes emotional healing will take longer, depending on the severity of the emotional trauma. Even if we can’t address every problem a person might have in the short time we have with them, we can show them the power God has over their problems and give them hope that they can one day live in complete freedom.

It wh y som does do esn’t n’t matter matter why s omethi ething ng happened h appened to you; yo u; the th e only only thing that matters with regard to healing is h ow it affected you.

Once more, try to determine if there are any negative emotions. If there are, repeat this process until you can bring the event to your memory and you feel no negative emotions. This process can be used on any memories that are associated with negative emotions. When you no longer feel any negative emotions while recalling an event, you are healed.

If you’d like to be healed of all the emotional trauma you’ve received received over ov er your yo ur li lifetim fetime, you yo u might gh t cons con s ider beginn b eginniing with the earliest memories you have that are troublesome to you. Use this process to receive healing of the emotions of that event, then go to the next event from your past that stirs up negati neg ative ve em e motions when you yo u thi t hink nk about abou t it. You can go year by-yea by -yearr if you’d yo u’d like from from earl e arly y chi ch ildho dh o od to the th e p resen res ent. t. You can do this at a pace that is comfortable for you.

It can b e done do ne over ov er the cour cou rs e of several sev eral days day s or week weekss , if if needed. If you apply this process to all the emotionally traumatic events you can think of, you will probably find a great deal o freedom afterward. I’ve seen a number of people also receive ph ysica call symptoms of illness and injury after going healing of physi through this process. If you need healing for a physical condition, you can use a standard approach for physical healing, which generally involves commanding the symptoms to leave and commanding the affected part of the body to be healed.
After you’ve had your soul healed, you might consider keeping it healed. This approach also works well in the moment. It can be used to heal those minute-by-minute hurts, wounds and offenses we run into every day. Just give the pai pa inful nfu l emot emotiion you’re yo u’re feeli feeling to Jesus Jes us and an d as a s k Him Him to heal he al the wound oun d caus ed by it. it. Forgiveness It isn’t necessary to forgive those who have wounded you before be fore you yo u can receive emot emotiional on al heali he aling ng.. Forgiving s omeo omeone ne from the heart can be difficult when you still feel the emotional pai pa in they th ey’ve ’ve caus cau s ed. ed . But after you’v yo u’vee been be en healed, he aled, you yo u might gh t find it easier to forgive them and perhaps even forget those unpleasant memories. If you are able to forgive them it will free you and it will free them. Jesus said to His disciples, “If you forgive forgive the th e si s ins of any, they th ey are a re forgiven forgiven the t hem m; if if you retain retain the t he sins of any, they are retained.” (Jn 20:23) When we learn to forgive others, it increases our own capacity to receive forgiveness both from men and from God. It can also help less es s en the th e trauma trauma we’re we’re li likely ely to s uffer uffer in in the t he future. futu re.
