What is Theophostic Counseling?
Theophostic® Counseling is a technique that uses Christian prayer in an effort to treat mood imbalance and various mental disorders. Modality was developed by Baptist Minister Dr. Ed Smith in the mid -90s and gained support in some sects of the American Evangelical Christian Church as a viable alternative to the Orthodox mental health treatment. Theophostic® comes from Greek and is freely translated as the "Light of God" that refers to the power that is assumed that the dedicated therapeutic instructions of the program and the subsequent recovery of mental anxiety. Theophostic® advice claims that intercession prayer by the patient and his advisor can lead to immediate recovery by a personal God, defined as Jesus Christ. This technique is described in detail in the official education materials available for established advisors or laymen and is partially based on an attempt to repair false, which have become part of the thystoe of the patient's faith through divine grace.
Smith says that the primary focus of Theophostic® advice is to help the patient identify maladaptive knowledge or "lies", which is assumed that the practitioner is recognized in the form of contextual keywords that the patient told when he tells disrupting memories. These verbal challenges are considered to be indicated that the patient could detect the primary source of her mental suffering. At this point, the counselor Theophostic® can further explore the topics generated by keywords in the form of further controlled memory reflection. When the practitioner feels the right time, he can ask the Lord to transfer the client to a place in her psyche, where false and mental disorders arose, and ask for recovery from inappropriate knowledge.
numerous controversies are associated with Theophostic® consulting. One of the seemingly most interesting inconsistencies in the eyes of Theophostic® critics is the lack of medicalLeny system experts, who led Smith to officially change the name of the program to the Ministry of Prayer Theophostic® to avoid any legal problems arising from the demands of neglecting practices. Another problem of critics is the similarity of technology to another therapeutic modality, renewed memory therapy (RMT), which was highly discredited because patients who underwent RMT treatment have a significantly high level of memory of false memory.
Other concerns are the supernatural program delivery delivery, which indicates that Theophostic® consultancy may not be effective for some patients due to demonic possession and Satanic influence. Many Christian churches have difficulty with most of the theological beliefs of the system that are reportedly offered by Parishionners is an unproven and implemented "miracle" that replaces the conventional script and the reflection recommended by the Church when facing emotional and spiritual anxiety.
