        I will be teaching Emotionally Healthy Woman in 2 parts at Asian Theological Seminary in Quezon City, Metro Manila. 
        In The Emotionally Healthy Woman book, Geri Scazzero provides you a way out of an inauthentic, superficial spirituality and a way to experience genuine freedom in Christ. This seminar is for every woman who thinks, ‘I can’t keep pretending everything is fine!’ (when it’s really not) The journey to emotional health begins by stopping.  As an overloaded pastor’s wife, Geri quit being afraid of what others think. She quit denying her anger and sadness.  She learned to stop overfunctioning and to quit living someone else’s life. When you stop those things that are damaging to your own soul and to the souls of others, you are freed to choose other ways of being and relating that are rooted in love and lead to life. Breaking these habits of relating will not only put you on the path to emotional health, but also help you uncover the true purpose of your life.
        The seminar will consist of lecture, video instruction, journaling, group processing and partner sharing.  This enables participants to not just listen to good principles, but to take the time to process your own feelings and experiences and apply the principles to your life.
        Emotionally Healthy Woman 1 – Stop Being Afraid of What Other People Think will be December 14 from 8:30 am til 4 pm.  This session will cover the tendency to ignore and stuff uncomfortable feelings because we are afraid people will think less of us and our tendency to not tell the real truth of what we think and how we feel.  We will learn the Biblical basis for facing our fears of what other people think about us so that we can begin to live the life that God has called us to. 


        Emotionally Healthy Woman 2 – Stop Overfunctioning and Doing for Others What They Can and Should Do for Themselves will be January 25, 2020 from 8:30 am til 4 pm.  This session will examine the tendency to take the responsibilities of other people and overload ourselves so that we miss out on our responsibilities or end up frustrated and blaming the people we are trying to help.  We will examine the faulty thinking that can keep us doing everything that everyone else thinks we should be doing instead of living the life that God has laid out for us.  In the end, many of us end up burned out and hurt by the people that we want to love.  How can we change the pattern?
        This 2-part seminar is filled with practical application as it integrates emotional health and spiritual maturity by rediscovering Biblical truths and quitting certain habits that are detrimental to your mental health, overcoming guilt, dealing with frustrating relationship, and developing emotionally and spiritually healthy lifestyle.

SEMINAR OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this seminar, the participants will be able to:
1. Demonstrate competence recognizing symptoms of unhealthy and unbiblical practices in our lives.
2. Demonstrate understanding and discernment when to say “no” and how to say,”no”.
3. Demonstrate skill in quitting habitual attitudes and wrong belief system.
4. Becoming aware of personal issues and begin the healing process

When Depression Hits Home - Finding Help Through Depression

Dr. Jiji Harner has developed this one day seminar using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques in a way that is psychologically sound, consistent with Biblical principles and extremely practical to help people begin to develop a game plan in their personal struggles with depression.
When Depression Hits Home is meant to help people working through depression.  If someone you care for is struggling with depression, it can be very helpful for you to attend the seminar and participate together with them.

       Saturday November 23 - 8:30 am-4:30 pm

Venue: Olive Grove Center. Subangdaku, Mandaue 

The day will consist of 4 sessions.  Each session will consist of approximately 35 minutes of lecture and education about depression:  its symptoms, its causes and how to overcome it.  The lectures are biblically based and bring in current psychological information and research to open our understanding of what is really meant by the word depression and its psychological impact on a person.  

After the lecture, there will be about 1 hour for participants to process the information in a small group setting.  Questions will be presented to engage participants with the information and techniques of the lecture.  The purpose here is for participants to gain self-awareness of how depression strikes them personally and its roots, along with skills for self-regulating and self-soothing when they are on their emotional roller coaster.  The group process follows the rule - Invite, not inflict - meaning you are always invited to participate with questions, but never required to or forced to participate.  After the time of group process, there will be a short break before the next session.
