Temperament Therapy – How Is Your Temperament?
Temperament Therapy is a form of counseling that is not the traditional way of dealing with psychology. This form of therapy often works faster and helps patients more because a counselor will try to immediately identify what the problem is, and then use techniques to relieve the patient emotionally rather than spend time trying to find more hidden problems.
First to understand what Temperament Therapy is, one needs to define the term Temperament. The temperament of a human is who he or she really is. Humans are not limited strictly to a genetic makeup. The way each individual reacts to others, to situations and to the environment around them shows an inherent Temperament value. To understand this, one has to first believe that humans are created by God. Therefore there is a certain degree of humanity, emotion and instinct that is already in each individual when they are born.
Christian Therapy: Helping You Cope With Emotional Problems
Whenever an individual begins to consider therapy, they traditionally begin to envision themselves and a counselor sitting in a room discussing their problems. However, Christian therapy is fairly different from what many people consider therapy to be. This type of therapy is normally used as a way for married couples and individuals to improve both their emotional as well as their spiritual health.
This type of therapy can benefit the different ways that an individual views their relationships with Christ, themselves and other people. Emotional health along with spiritual health, are normally two factors that people have a hard problem trying to decipher.

Christian Therapy has its Fundamentals in psychology and theological knowledge which comes from God’s Word, the Bible. The idea of incorporating the Bible into a psychology therapy was determined by, God knows us better than any person on Earth and He is the only one that could change us in any way. That includes the mind, will and emotions of every human being!
In this therapy, we incorporate psychological knowledge to find and tell the patient the reality of his or her situation, which means what mental disease he or she has: anxiety, eating disorders, depression, addiction. Utilizing psychology appropriately help us to scientifically understand our patient and identify the methods we need to use to help them. By knowing God’s Word and having Jesus as our role model; we encourage our patients to overcome their illness. It gives them hope and motivation to face their issues and to walk the hard road of recovery.

According to Johnson and Ridley, Christian Counseling involves four aspects: accommodation, this means that the patient will succeed if he or she has the same values as the therapy; the hope, based on the motivation we give to our patients, supported by all means with God’s Word, the Bible, the truth based on Jesus Christ as a Role model. The most important of these four aspects is the divine agent (God, Jesus and Holy Spirit) participating in the therapy. These four elements help the patient increase his or her sensitivity, values and Christian beliefs.
