The last several decades have boasted many exciting new discoveriesabout the workings of the brain. What are the implications of these new insights for psychotherapy and emotional healing ministry? Do these discoveries provide practical guidance for those who facilitate healing for traumatic memories?
Why can people sometimes recover from painful events, and go on with their lives in a healthy way, perhaps even wiser and stronger than before, whereas other times pain leaves a person confused, diminished, and even emotionally and relationally crippled?
Could there be a stronger theoretical foundation for emotional healing ministries dealing with traumatic memories – a foundation which is actually supported by neurological case studies and brain science research? Could that theoretical foundation account for both the cases when Christian emotional healing ministries work effectively, and the cases in which they don’t?
In this two-day seminar, Christian psychiatrist Karl Lehman, M.D., will address these questions, and present an approach to the healing of emotional traumas which is consistent with recent brain science research, and is organized around the presence of Jesus, who was prophetically named “Immanuel,” meaning “God is with us.”
The presentation method will include:
Lectures with illustrative PowerPoint slides
Video clips of actual healing sessions that help to show rather than just tell the concepts being taught
A demonstration of the way this healing approach may be used in a group setting

This material is not "required," in that you can attend the conference and get a lot out of the presentations even if you have not been able to get through the recommended pre-conference reading. However, the conference will be fairly intense, with an amount of material that some may find a bit overwhelming. These recommended readings present many of the pieces that have contributed to the final seminar presentations, and being familiar with this contributing material will help you get the most value from the seminar.
