Therapy Services for Pastors and other Christian Leaders
For virtually every Christian leader, you are nearly always the one providing help.
The one serving, giving, and leading.
What about when you need help?
What about the times, that hit virtually every leader, (including some of our heroes such as Andy Stanley, Craig Groeschel, and Peter Scazzero), when you are the one that is struggling?
What about those times when your anxiety and sense of being overwhelmed will not settle down?
What about the times when you are discouraged and candidly, even depressed about your leadership situation or your life?
Or, when you are battling something that is really personal, that you know goes against what you want to be about?
Who can you go to?
You can’t really tell a subordinate these things because they need to see you as confident, and by virtue of their role, they cannot be a confidant. Sometimes, peers are available, which is good, and yet even if they are, sometimes there’s only so much they can do, given their time limitations, and the weighty, complex nature of what you might need to share.
Our spouses are often willing to help us, but they are often limited too. Wives are an extraordinary gift, and yet sometimes they can take information so personally that we are reluctant to share something painful about someone they know, because the burden may be too much for them, or for the people involved. Husbands often struggle with finding the patience to listen long enough to really help.
At certain times, we really just need someone outside our system, someone who is trained in coming alongside leaders that are struggling in substantial ways. At RCC, therapists and counselors have decades of experience being that encouraging and restorative presence in the lives of spiritual leaders. Send us a message and begin the journey of restoration.
