The last several decades have boasted many exciting new discoveries about the workings of the brain. What are the implications of these new insights for leaders, pastors, counselors and emotional healing ministry? Do these discoveries provide practical guidance for those who facilitate healing for traumatic memories?

Why can people sometimes recover from painful events, and go on with their lives in a healthy way, perhaps even wiser and stronger than before, whereas other times pain leaves a person confused, diminished, and even emotionally and relationally crippled?

Could there be a stronger theoretical foundation for emotional healing ministries dealing with traumatic memories – a foundation which is actually supported by neurological case studies and brain science research? Could that theoretical foundation account for both the cases when Christian emotional healing ministries work effectively, and the cases in which they don’t? And could these new insights provide guidance and tools for resolving these most difficult cases?

In this two-day seminar, Christian psychiatrist Karl Lehman, M.D., will address these questions, and present an approach to the healing of emotional traumas which is consistent with recent brain science research, and is organized around the presence of Jesus, who was prophetically named “Immanuel,” meaning “God is with us.”

The presentation method will include:

  • Lectures with illustrative PowerPoint slides
  • Video clips of actual healing sessions that help to show rather than just tell the concepts being taught
  • Time for questions and answers
  • If time allows, a demonstration of the way this healing approach may be used in a group setting

Testimonial from an attendee at this seminar at its premiere in Sydney Australia, in November 2007:

"...I wanted to say a huge ‘Thank you’ for your seminar on the 9th and 10th November at Rockdale in Sydney.

On a personal level you provided me with understanding and insight about myself that I have never had before and helped me make sense of things that I have struggled with for a long time. As a consequence I have had some huge revelations since. God has used your work for me to have a huge breakthrough and reconnect with a significant traumatic memory for me.... It has been a very tough but valuable experience and I share some similarities to the lady that you showed in your tape who had issues with her mother and her feeling lost etc. In some ways that one went a little too close for me, but it has enabled me to have my own personal breakthrough which has been hugely valuable towards my healing process. So my heartfelt thanks for your work and insight.

At a professional level, as a counselor and life coach I feel so much more equipped to help my clients...."
