Abstract:
This paper discusses some of the unique challenges that trauma poses to the experience of faith, hope, and love in the church. It explores some of the fruitful integrative overlap found between the respective pursuits of holistic healing in the Vineyard and in EMDR, a particularly powerful form of psychotherapy used to treat the often faith-, hope-, and love-inhibiting impacts of trauma and other adverse life experiences. The paper begins with some foundational education about the nature and impacts of trauma (attentive to some relevant theological and ecclesiological intersections), progresses to an exploration of the purposes, processes, and theoretical underpinnings of EMDR psychotherapy, and closes with an integrative discussion addressing some noteworthy similarities between EMDR and the Vineyard prayer model.
