~ The Immanuel Approach ~
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means God is with us.”

- Matthew 1:23
The Immanuel Approach is a remarkable, powerful, and effective method for trauma resolution, emotional healing, receiving Divine counsel/guidance for any issues, or just spending time experiencing God's living interactive loving presence.  It was developed by Dr. Karl Lehman (Christian psychiatrist) and Dr. Jim Wilder (Christian psychologist) and is based on various brain-science principles and spiritual realities, namely that God (Emmanuel) is always present and wanting to love and help us.  I have found that this method works for almost everyone, with most people experiencing some degree of God's tangible presence at the very first session/attempt.  Sometimes there are "blocks" to perceiving God's presence that need to be worked through (see the first video under "Actual Live Sessions" below for a wonderful illuminative example of this).

Here's a brief 12 minute intro video from Dr. Lehman:
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear My voice and open the door,
then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me."   
-  Revelation 3:20
