It’s important to consider what happened in their life or with other relationships that may have contributed to the way this problem is currently being manifested. It’s important for the person doing soul care to consider possibilities of how to do soul care and its important for the person with the problem to examine what happened in their soul to cause them to bring about the problem or allow the problem to come up.

Reframing enables us to move from focusing on the problems/ issues at hand to open up the opportunity to go deeper into getting to know what is going on with the souls. Reframing prevents us from falling into the habits of problem analysis and problem fixing. Unless we understand the root cause to the battle of the soul, be honest in acknowledging and facing it; no true repentance or spiritual growth can take place.

When I think of reframing – I think of it as in the house building process. We have remodeled several homes in the past 20 years, and the last one we attempted, was our largest and hardest. Why? Because we had to take it down to the studs (interior) and start over. Once you take off the outer layers, and get to what the structure looks like, only then you will find what “supports” you will need as you build back. This is also important in relationships. Once you know where they stand, and what needs rebuilding, reframing, more attention, then you can hopefully build back stronger.

If we didn’t shift the focus from the presenting problem to deeper issues we would only be looking at the surface of the iceberg. By shifting focus we can begin to descend down into the depths of the icberg to explore together the persons inner workings. They may not have even stopped to think about the response or even the atmosphere of their relationship with others. We would never hit the “confusion” and never truly enter someones soul. we would just be standing at the surface while the objective of our goal is at the very bottom of the iceberg. That bottom is the working and the wanting of the Spirit in their life.
