SSF123 – The Road to Self-Awareness and Healing
May 1 – June 5, 2025
The Road to Self-Awareness and Healing is based on the recent Sophia Press release entitled The Road to Self-Awareness: A Therapy Book for Christians. The book is written not from the perspective of someone who ‘has it all sorted out’, but from a vulnerable place of the author’s own repentance. In particular, the book illumines his broken and hilarious battle with weight loss, his victory in Christ as he eventually lost a hundred pounds, and the hands-on application of the healing concepts to any area of need. With this book’s author as our instructor, the class will embark together on the path to real healing. In contrast to the cheap gimmicks and blind soundbites of today’s self-help industry, this course recenters psychotherapy upon God. The result is a voyage into the interior life that brings true self-awareness and lasting deliverance.
By grounding the healing process upon the Great Physician, we access the power of prayer, the power of Sacrament, and the clarifying effects of virtue. With God at the center, this class will tap into the transforming power of grace and discover how that transformation process plays out. As we work through the book across our six sessions together, we will see what the healing process looks like exactly, in the middle of our daily and messy lives, and what to expect. Whether it’s gluttony or some other vice, anxiety, an addiction, misspent energy, or a toxic relationship, this class lights the way forward – one baby step at a time – into the unbound and abundant life God wants for you. In summary, this spiritual formation course is a powerful step-by-step accompaniment out of whatever has you stuck, and into God’s plans to prosper you… propelling you further toward a happiness that no eye has seen, ear heard, nor heart even conceived.
