Welcome To InnerWisdom Counseling Centers

Achieving a Successful and Spiritually Steadfast Life

It is an established fact that a successful journey's end begins with a well-developed and highly refined plan, with great emphasis placed on the details. Just as it is with the planning of a journey from place to place, so it is with the journey one takes into the realm of one's spiritual nature.

First, one must have a map, a special legend that can be referred to from time to time, in case one looses the way. Second, one must have a compass, a tool that can assist in finding the right direction in which to go. Third, one must have a reliable vehicle that will provide a way to travel from place to place in the least wasteful and most efficient manner. And fourth, one must have rest stops, refueling stations and nourishment suitable for one's intended purpose.

Through the use of the materials presented in the workbook series My Precious Child, you will be able to develop all of the tools necessary to allow you a safe and successful journey. There are several things you must know, however, before you begin your journey. As a Word of Precaution, please follow a well developed plan of action, as some of the workbook exercises may elicit deeply hidden memories and/or experiences that are best processed with a professional or a pastor who specializes in psychotherapy or counseling.

In order to develop a plan around your specific and personal situation, you must first know where you are and what you are about. No two people have had the same experiences or were exposed to the same set of circumstances, even those who grew up in the same family. Each person is an individual, with individual experiences. As a way for you to understand and plan for your specific journey, it will be necessary for you to complete an assessment of your past history and current lifestyle. The Health and Lifestyle Assessment was designed for that purpose, and will assist you in determining your strengths and your weaknesses. The assessment process is very important to the success of your journey. Please be as honest as you can be while completing the forms. It is not necessary to share the information with anyone unless you determine that it would be in your best interest to do so. The assessment tool is complete and comprehensive. It takes into account the personalities of your parents or caregivers and the environment in which you were raised. It assesses for addictive, depressive and other mental health disorders, as well as for past and current medical problems. With this information, you can begin to "plot your course" and plan for your journey toward a carefully constructed and newly created life.

Each month, a portion of the self-help recovery workbook, My Precious Child will be presented on our web site. It will contain information and exercises to use. It is expected that if each person optimally uses the information, it will take some time to complete and process all of the exercises. One important insight that you will receive through completing the exercises is that you, as an adult, are protecting a small and forgotten frightened precious child, who may be the source of your emotional pain, but also the source of your healing. It will be quite an exhilarating experience when you make contact!
