Introduction to Christ-Centered Therapy: CCT Basics, Establishing a Safe Haven, and Becoming Oneself in Christ

This five-day intensive introduces therapists to the foundational framework and practices of Christ-Centered Therapy (CCT), emphasizing personal renewal and practical application. Through teaching, small groups, and experiential exercises, participants will explore the Christian narrative, the therapeutic significance of Jesus and the Trinity, and CCT’s first pillar—establishing an inner haven with Christ.]]> Introduction to Christ-Centered Therapy: CCT Basics, Establishing a Safe Haven, and Becoming Oneself in Christ

Course Information:

  • Location: Louisville, KY or Online
  • Intensive Cost: $1000 (Early Bird, Student, and Fellow Discounts available.)

Focus: Therapist formation and renewal, foundational CCT practices, establishing internal refuge, and developing secure attachment with Christ.

Attendees will:

  • Personally engage in and experience the exercises and practices introduced throughout the training.
  • Deepen their understanding of the therapeutic significance of the Father’s affirmation of the Son, recognize Jesus Christ as the climax of the Christian narrative, and explore how the relational nature of the Trinity makes Christian therapy both unique and possible.
  • Practice embodied strategies that promote body awareness and meditative focus (e.g., muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing), while envisioning—and beginning to dwell in—a safe internal refuge. In this place, they grow accustomed to life within their Window of Tolerance, meet with Jesus, gain insight, and nurture their created and redeemed core self.
  • Learn how to prioritize relational connection and lived experience in therapy, equipping counselees to address psychological distress linked to insecure attachment, chronic trauma, personal sin, and spiritual challenges.
  • Become acquainted with the core therapeutic practices central to Christian Clinical Therapy (CCT), especially those that explicitly “bring Christ into the therapy process,” both individually and in group contexts:
    • Therapeutic prayer (e.g., lament, confession, praise, examen)
    • Lectio Divina (therapeutic engagement with Scripture)
    • Christian meditation, encountering God through Christ using biblical resources
    • Story-work, imagery-work, and chair-work involving Jesus
  • Begin developing their own model of Christ-centered therapy, integrating what they’ve learned into a coherent, spiritually grounded framework.
