An 8-Week Interactive Small Group on “The Healing Journey”
This Deeper Dive will be an 8-week introduction to Story Work, which is a key to the Healing Journey.
NOTE: The Building Bounce Deeper Dive is a REQUIRED PRE-REQUISITE to this Deeper Dive.
What exactly is Story Work? Story Work involves:
- Looking back at our story
- Identifying Trauma A and Trauma B from our story
- Exploring tools for unpacking scenes from our story that hold pain
- Learning how to invite Jesus and other trusted sojourners into the experience so that aloneness is undone, new truth can be applied, and pain is metabolized.
It’s important for you to know that you get to decide what you want to share. This will not be trauma counseling. We will work hard to use our ‘Building Bounce’ skills to stay out of overwhelm.
You will not be asked to reveal every skeleton in your closet! We will explore identifying and renouncing lies, vows and strongholds. You will be given tools that you can take with you on your own healing journey.
Here is a summary of the topics:
- Week 1- Intro to the journey
- Week 2- How to respond well to another’s story
- Week 3- Exploring your story
- Week 4- Vulnerability and Shame
- Week 5- What are my fig leaves? False selves and unproductive life strategies
- Week 6- Reconciliation: Where is God is my brokenness?
- Week 7- Restoring what’s been lost: Who does God say that I am?
- Week 8- Redemption: What story is God writing?
