Dr. Chelsea gives an expanded teaching on the view of the therapist as a shepherd within the Rapha Christian-Based Therapy (Rapha-CBT) model by doing a deep study and examination of the scriptures to draw parallels. 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.

Dr. Chelsea reviews:

• A description of what a shepherd did in the Bible (Resources: Biblical Cyclopedia https://www.biblicalcyclopedia.com/S/shepherd.html and the Blue Letter Bible app)
• Expectations God had for shepherds (over his flock of people, Israel) with scriptural examples
• Pastors as a metaphorical shepherd and supported scriptures
• Parallels of the therapist as a metaphorical shepherd/pastor in the therapy setting
