3. Assumptions
• The mind, the body, and the spirit are
inextricably connected.
• Although perhaps not overtly religious, an
appreciable number of our cadre and soldiers
are “spiritual.”
• Most families are not well connected to
community resources

4. Connecting
• In 1997, the well know Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Larry Crabb, Ph.D. wrote a book called
Connecting. His basic premise is this:
“For most of the 20th century, we have wrongly defined soul
wounds as physiological disorders and relegated their
treatment to specialist. In reality, every caring person has
the ability – already within them – to help.”

5. The History of Psychotherapy
• In 1895, Sigmund Freud stumbled on the
idea of “a talking cure.”
• The idea of “talking” caught on and soon a
“talking profession” (Psychotherapy) was
born.
• Over the course of time, dozens of
psychotherapeutic models emerged, all
revealing beneficial results.
