Deep Inquiry Questions
How do you ensure that practitioners can actually apply what they learn once the training is over?
-
In your live practicum and throughout course assignment, learners explore real life scenarios that therapists or helpers bring to the practicum sessions, so the opportunities are endless. We also prepare clinicians for topics related to religious trauma, doctrinal differences, LGBTQ communities and other spiritual beliefs like Alchemy, Astrology and traditional witchcraft
How do you ensure that this training remains clinically sound while integrating spirituality? A lot of faith-based approaches end up being more about personal beliefs than evidence-based practice. How do you balance the two without compromising clinical integrity or spiritual depth?
-
The content focuses less on a preferred doctrine and more on the power of beliefs and how Christian spirituality as well as other forms of faith and spirituality settle into the belief system. By recognizing how beliefs form around trauma and experiences, counselors are able to validate client experiences and offer understanding while working through the complexity of it all
I already have continuing education requirements and a packed schedule—why should I prioritize this over other trauma-informed trainings? What measurable outcomes can I expect after completing it?
-
Your increased awareness will prove to be an immediate measurable outcome. Data shows that Christian clients are increasingly becoming more interested in therapy and at the same rate are looking for therapists that can speak to spiritual contributors and Christian doctrines. This certification program will increase the sense of trust and confidence in what you mean when you say that you are a Christian therapist or that you bring your faith into your work. Therapists who are certified in Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention are more likely to convert prospect clients into consultations and long term clients.
Since you're an ACE-approved provider, does this course satisfy CE requirements for licensed therapists, social workers, or counselors? And will this certification be recognized by professional boards or just be another line on my résumé?
-
This course will be recognized by professional boards including ACE because it’s our highest priority to be in compliance with ACE CE requirements. We are currently in the process of making this specific course approved for CE credit and learners who go through the course before the process is finalized will they will receive credit for the course upon approval.
How do you support practitioners after certification? A lot of programs offer great training but leave you on your own once it’s over. Is there any continued mentorship, community, or resources to help me actually implement this in my practice long-term?
-
We offer professional shadowing as a spiritual counselor with Flamingo Trauma Recovery nonprofit. This is why we call it a vocational training program, to create opportunities for therapists, counselors and clergy to practice what they learn and serve the way they feel called. Other opportunities for development in spiritual intervention look like a free online community and opportunities to join a team of people who take interest in trauma-informed deliverance ministry. This team helps individuals to increase knowledge of how the spirit realm behaves and allows them to recognize spiritual activity in their clinical practice.
What if I want to integrate this work into my existing practice rather than join a ministry-focused team? How adaptable is this training for therapists who work in secular or agency settings?
-
It’s quite practical because the content doesn’t emphasize the importance of Christian apologetics or anything like that. It rather teaches therapists to foster curiosity by modeling curiosity, recognizing parts of the belief system that might be hindered by harmful doctrine or beliefs that are derived from a spiritual root.
What about joining your therapist network—what’s the process for that, and are there any requirements?
