Dr. Chelsea talks about mental health providers shifting their view of the people they work with from “clients” to “souls that God has entrusted in their care” within the Rapha Christian-Based Therapy (Rapha-CBT) model. Rapha-CBT is a new theoretical treatment modality that Dr. Chelsea personally developed over time and uses it in practice with Christian clients as a Christian psychologist.

Discussion Overview:

• A definition of what a client is and what a soul is in the context of the scriptures (using the Blue Letter Bible app)
• The importance of shifting your mindset from looking at people as souls rather than clients
• Personal words of wisdom Dr. Chelsea received from God on the subject matter
• What souls need
• The necessity of a Christian therapist being used as a mouthpiece and vessel for God to speak through them to the souls entrusted in their care
• Recommendations on how the Christian therapist can put themselves in position to be used by God in session

Anchor Scriptures:

Acts 20:28

1 Peter 5:2-4

1 Timothy 4:12

Reflection Question:

How can you apply this mind shift of viewing your clients as souls into practice?
