Episode #11 A Personal Perspective of the Soul in Pain Rachel Cunningham MA

Soul Healing Love

We are continuing our Personal Perspective series as we are joined by another counselor at Rodgers Christian Counseling, Rachel Cunningham, MA, LPCA. Rachel earned her MA from Liberty University in Counseling in 2017 and her Bachelor’s degree in Human Services from Anderson University in 2014. Rachel is passionate about connecting with clients on a deeper level and believes that building trust and establishing a safe environment for clients to tell their stories empowers them to dive deeper into self-awareness and grow in Christ. She prides herself in being real with clients and is creative in finding the best approaches for treating them. She utilizes an authentic, eclectic approach to therapy with foundational underpinnings of the Soul Healing Love Model and enjoys seeing individuals and couples utilize the tools of the model to gain insight into their past pain and move in a healing direction. Today she walks us through details of the Soul in Pain. It is a great starting point in the process of Soul Healing because we need to know possible sources of our pain and Soul Wounds. Very often the source is our family of origin, the family we grew up in, but we also look at Society, Gender Stereotypes, and other life experiences that have caused hurt. We also have to examine the passive abuse, which can be more insidious than active abuse, to know how to heal. Once we understand the sources of these wounds, we can formulate a path toward healing.
