Training in the Healing Anchored Model
A biblically grounded training in the Healing Anchored Model for pastors, campus ministers, spiritual directors, and Christian therapists.
Grounded in the Internal Family Systems map of parts and Self, and integrated with the Immanuel Approach and Restoring the Foundations, the model teaches you to understand the inner life with compassion, invite Jesus into the places that hurt, and walk with others toward lasting freedom, with Scripture as the final authority throughout.
