Reframing shifts the focus from the presenting problem to the deeper issue of relationships.Why is this shift important?

[Austin]

The importance of reframing shift is is helps in soulcare for the individual to see past relationships play a role in the problems we face today. As one goes about life’s journey, it helps to know where they have been & how life circumstances have molded them today.

It’s moving from ‘fixing the problem,” to “building a relationship;
from “an expert” to “sojourner on the same journey” towards the compelling vision of “Christ-like.”
from ‘an armchair general’ to “fellow soldiers” battling for the soul together for Christ.
from ‘symptomatic treatment’ to “root issues – healing from the inside out.”

[Austin]

The presenting problem is usually just an outward manifestation of deeper issues of relationships. For effective soul care to take place we need to help guide the conversation into the story of the soul. To identify the real root cause of this battle in the soul.

[Austin]

Because the presenting problem is a very small part of the whole. It is the result of a far deeper issue which has yet to be revealed The presenting problem cannot be dealt with without the wisdom to get the client to reveal the underlying issues(the below the water stuff)
