Lesson Titles

ERC 101: Body, Soul, Spirit: Understanding the Realms of Healing
Keisha Wright
Emotional recovery is approached through a biblical understanding of the body, soul, and spirit, recognizing trauma as an injury rather than a disorder. Emotional pain often manifests through physical responses, repeated reactions, and spiritual disconnection when left unhealed. Attention is given to identifying indicators of injury, recognizing strongholds, and allowing pain to be heard rather than suppressed. Emphasis is placed on speaking truth over pain, strengthening the spirit through repetition, and guiding individuals toward response rather than reaction through discernment and practice. 

ERC 102: Coaching Through Emotional Injury and Identity Restoration
Keisha Wright
Unhealed emotional injuries in the soul often shape identity, decision-making, and relational patterns. Pain patterns and emotional triggers reveal unresolved wounds that must be identified before behavior can change. Focus is given to mapping emotional pain, understanding unhealthy attachments, and recognizing reaction-based coping strategies. Healing involves replacing pain-driven responses with truth, spiritual alignment, and intentional practice. Restoration occurs as individuals learn to respond rather than react, release unhealthy attachments, and rebuild identity rooted in truth rather than past injury. 

ERC 103: From Pain to Platform: How to Teach from Your Story
Keisha Wright
Personal story carries power when shared with discernment, timing, and humility. Pain must first cause pause, and unresolved bitterness can distort storytelling if not addressed. Emphasis is placed on boundaries, readiness, and the difference between sharing from scars versus open wounds. Story is framed as assignment rather than identity, with credibility grounded in healing rather than exposure. Pain, process, and purpose must be integrated so story points toward redemption, guiding others toward truth while prioritizing faithfulness over platform.
