This week, Jake and Bob begin a new series where they welcome therapists from around the world to discuss the integration of faith in psychology, real life lessons learned, and the various methodologies they practice. Today, they are joined by Bernhard Streiselberger, a Professional Counselor from Austria, who specializes in Gestalt therapy and EMDR. Bernhard shares his journey from studying psychotherapy in Austria to being formed in monastic life and how it has shaped his approach to therapy. He also delves into the details of Gestalt therapy and the Immanuel approach, how these methodologies have positively impacted his clients, and why affirmation is a key component in everyone's healing journey. Key Points: The Immanuel approach facilitates a personal encounter with the Lord Affirmation plays a crucial role in emotional healing Sometimes we may have spiritual blocks that hinder our healing process Emotional deprivation experienced in childhood can be healed through affirming relationships in our present lives Ultimately, it is the Lord's presence that heals Resources: Thresh Mountains (Bernhard's Website) Fritz Perls and Gloria Counselling Video Albert Ellis and Gloria Counselling Video Bob Newhart "Stop It" Healing the Unaffirmed by Conrad Baars Feeling and Healing Your Emotions by Conrad Baars Intro to the Immanuel Approach by Dr. Karl Lehman Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
