I Realized Something Today

Today Dr. Dendiu talked about a model of counseling that views many people's reoccurring sin as a means of escape. We are hurt somewhere deep in our soul and so we continue to sin as a means of mysteriously escaping pain. It hit me as one of the biggest truths in my own life. Amazing, God really said something through that discussion. I'm finding new freedom as of late and I didn't know how wonderful it could be. I think I'm actually coming to terms with past hurt and that seems to be where change happens. It's an Exodus out of a bondage that I was unaware of...

How do you figure out where the pain is coming from if you don't know?

I guess that's where good counsel comes into play. The subject was brought up in light of different counseling models and how people have applied them over time. I suppose this idea supposes that a person has repressed emotions of some kind.
