Episode #13 A Personal Perspective on the GIFT Exercise with Erin Sweitzer, MA, LMFT

Soul Healing Love

This is our Final Episode in the Personal Perspective series, one in which counselors from our practice Rodgers Christian Counseling have discussed how they teach and use various exercises from the Soul Healing Love Method. In this episode Erin Sweitzer, MA, LMFT, joins us to talk through the GIFT Exercise to help dig down into the primary emotion around your anger. Erin helps us understand that some things we get angry about just aren't worth our energy: if it's something small, like how to squeeze the toothpaste, follow her advice and just get 2 toothpastes. But, when it is something worth our energy, she helps us walk through the GIFT to understand what's under our anger. Erin has her her MA at Pfeiffer University in Marriage and Family Therapy and her BS in Child Development from Appalachian State University. She views therapy as a collaborative experience where she listens to your story and works with you to identify obtainable goals. The strategies and models practiced are evid ence-based and effective including Trauma-Based CBT, Problem-Solving Therapy and the Soul Healing Love model as she is passionate about helping people receive God’s unconditional love and healing . She enjoys working with individuals, young adults, teens, couples (both premarital and marital), families, and children of all ages.
