Selah: A Twelve Week Group Journey at the Intersection of Clinical Wellness and Spiritual Truth. Rooted in CBT, Somatic Therapy, and Scripture
Discover the sacred intersection of clinical wellness and spiritual truth.
Are you tired of feeling like you have to choose between your faith and your mental health? Do you find yourself stuck in cycles of anxiety, exhaustion, or a “wired but tired” nervous system? Itβs time for a Selah, a holy pause to breathe, reflect, and heal. Selah is a transformative twelve-week journey designed specifically for people in groups who want to bridge the gap between professional therapeutic tools and a deep, personal relationship with Jesus. Written by Abigail Carpenter, MS, LPC-A, a licensed therapist in Texas, this workbook moves beyond surface-level “self-care” to offer a holistic, evidence-based approach to restoration. Inside this 12-week study, you will explore three core pillars of healing:
UNIT ONE: MENTAL RENEWAL β Learn the clinical power of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to dismantle the “Inner Critic,” identify intrusive thoughts, and take every thought captive.
UNIT TWO: PHYSICAL STEWARDSHIP β Understand your body as a temple. Learn somatic tools to regulate your nervous system, the importance of restorative sleep, and how nutrition and movement impact your mental clarity.
UNIT THREE: SPIRITUAL IDENTITY β Heal your “God Image” and anchor your soul in the character of a Good Father. Move from performing for your worth to receiving your identity as the Beloved. Why Selah? This is more than just a workbook; it is a clinical and spiritual roadmap. Whether you are working through this individually or in a small group setting, each week includes:
Clinical Insights: Simplified breakdowns of brain chemistry, attachment theory, and somatic regulation.
Spiritual Truths: Scripture-based reflections that ground your healing in the Word of God.
The “Selah” Practice: Guided mindfulness, breath prayers, and journaling prompts to help you move truth from your head to your heart.
Group Connection: Specialized therapeutic discussion questions designed to foster deep, safe vulnerability. Healing is not a solo journey. It is a process of connection, to yourself, to your community, and to your Creator.
