EHW Self Care 101: It Is Not What's Wrong With You - But What Happened to You - A Psychotherapy Weekend Retreat (Pick your date: Aug. 2026 or Nov. 2026)

Have you been praying for change, but feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, or unsure how to begin healing again? What if the struggles you carry are not simply signs of weakness… but signs of wounds that were never given safety, understanding, or space to heal?

Trauma does not only affect memories. It affects the nervous system, the body, relationships, emotions, thoughts, and even the way we experience God, ourselves, and others. Sometimes what we call “overreacting,” “shutting down,” anxiety, anger, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, or constant fear are actually survival responses shaped by painful experiences and environments over time.

And many of these patterns did not begin with you. In both Scripture and neuroscience, we see a profound truth: what is unhealed can continue through generations — emotionally, relationally, spiritually, and biologically.

But healing is also possible. God did not design us merely to survive in fear, shame, exhaustion, or disconnection. He created the human brain and body with the capacity for renewal, restoration, attachment, and healing when we are met with truth, safety, compassion, and supportive community.

Romans 12:2 reminds us:
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Healing is not pretending the pain never happened. Healing is allowing God, truth, wisdom, and safe relationships to help restore what trauma tried to shape inside you.

This is why we are inviting you to:

EHW SELF-CARE 101: “What Happened to You, Not What’s Wrong With You” A Psychotherapy Weekend Retreat – Dr. Jiji Harner.

Here is the Registration Form for EHW Self-Care 101: What Happened to You Not What's Wrong with You - A Psychotherapy Weekend https://forms.gle/fPi4dsd9im2zippHA

         This retreat is a safe and compassionate space designed to help individuals begin understanding trauma, emotional wounds, nervous system responses, faith, self-awareness, and pathways toward healing and restoration.

Together we will explore:
• Trauma-informed emotional healing
• Neurobiological understanding of stress and survival patterns
• Biblical foundations for restoration and renewal
• Healthy self-care and emotional regulation
• Compassionate community and reflection

You do not need to have everything figured out before you come. You only need the willingness to begin. Perhaps this is the invitation your soul, mind, and body have been waiting for. Because healing does not happen through shame. Healing happens when truth meets grace, when pain meets safety, and when wounded people are finally reminded they are not alone.

Your story is not finished.
Your pain is not your identity.
And healing is still possible.

Limited spaces available.
We invite you to take the first step toward healing, renewal, and transformation.

See you…
