Inner Healing Retreat

Our Inner Healing Retreat Approach

Spirit-Led Restoration for Trauma, Emotional Wounds, and Spiritual Strongholds

At Impact Family Christian Counseling & Wellness, our Inner Healing Retreats are immersive experiences designed to foster deep healing for those navigating the effects of trauma, emotional wounds, spiritual oppression, and relational pain. These retreats are rooted in our commitment to Christ-centered transformation, combining professional counseling practices with powerful biblical and spiritual healing principles.

A Spirit-Led, Holistic Healing Model

Our approach is uniquely shaped by the inner healing framework of Dr. Charles H. Kraft, a respected professor at Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of Psychology and Intercultural Studies. Dr. Kraft emphasized that many psychological and emotional wounds are not only rooted in painful memories, but also in distorted beliefs, spiritual bondage, and relational patterns influenced by evil forces. As such, healing must go beyond cognitive insight—it must engage the heart, spirit, and identity under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Drawing from his model, our retreats incorporate:

• Listening prayer and words of knowledge to help uncover hidden lies, traumatic memories, and spiritual strongholds.
  
• Memory healing and emotional reprocessing, inviting Jesus into moments of pain to reveal truth and restore peace.
  
• Deliverance-informed prayer where necessary, discerning and addressing demonic footholds linked to trauma and brokenness.
  
• Confession, forgiveness, and renunciation exercises, guided in love and grace.
  
• Biblically grounded counseling using trauma-informed and attachment-based methods.

   

Our Core Philosophy

Our retreats are not formulaic events—they are sacred spaces where we respond to the unique story and spiritual reality of each individual. We recognize that suffering is often multilayered, with contributing factors that may include:

• Distorted memories and perceptions formed through trauma
  
• Emotional and relational fragmentation
  
• Spiritual deception and demonic interference
  
• Environmental triggers and social conditioning
  
• Physiological and neurological responses to stress and pain

   

While we are trained in evidence-based psychological techniques, we remain anchored in Scripture and dependent on the Holy Spirit to lead us into the root causes of dysfunction, pain, and fear. We do not treat symptoms alone—we seek holistic restoration of mind, body, spirit, and relationships.

Retreat Structure

Our Inner Healing Retreats are offered in half-day, full-day, and two-day formats, with each session thoughtfully paced to ensure emotional safety and spiritual depth. Depending on your needs, the retreat may include:

• Personal one-on-one sessions with a trained Christian counselor
  
• Extended prayer and reflection times
  
• Spiritual inventory and guided journaling
  
• Scripture-based teachings on identity, forgiveness, and spiritual warfare
  
• Anointing, intercessory prayer, and declarations of truth
  
• Worship and soaking prayer to invite the presence of God

   

Each retreat is customized to meet your unique needs while being grounded in biblical truth, professional wisdom, and spiritual discernment.

Who This Is For

Whether you’re battling trauma, anxiety, fear, generational bondage, identity confusion, or grief, our Inner Healing Retreats are designed to create space for the Spirit of God to restore what pain has distorted. It is for anyone longing for breakthrough in areas that talk therapy alone cannot reach.

Healing Through His Presence

We believe that Jesus is the healer of the brokenhearted, and that through the work of the Holy Spirit, individuals can be set free from lies, trauma, shame, and oppression. Our role is to create a safe, Spirit-led environment where that healing can take place.
