Session One
Neuro-Theology of Sex and Addiction: Recent scientific study of the human brain affirms what scripture has taught for thousands of years: God designed sex to be a powerful bonding experience between husband and wife. However, Satan often distorts it to a point of great destruction. SPECT scans of sexually addicted brains graphically show this damage. Thankfully, Scripture not only teaches us God’s original intent for sex, it also reveals God’s desire to redeem and restore our hearts and minds closer to His original design. Understanding the results of substituting sex or other counterfeits for relational connections with God and others can motivate us to not settle for distortions and to seek healing for our damaged sexuality.
Session Two
Attachment: Attachment is the outgrowth of both the quantity and quality of our relational connections, especially those of our early childhood. Many experts are beginning to assert that addiction, co-dependency and many of our dysfunctions are driven primarily by attachment pain and insecure attachment styles. In this session, Darrell explains the three insecure attachment styles and how each inclines us toward unique and sinful forms of self-protection that leave us trying to cope in destructive and isolating ways. It also introduces specific things we can do to address our insecure attachments, repent of our self-protection and build secure attachments with God and others based on a foundation of joyful connection.
Session Three
The Immanuel Process: Jesus’ last words before he ascended into heaven were, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) However, we are often like the disciples on the road to Emmaus who were with Jesus and yet completely oblivious to His presence. The Immanuel prayer process is a form of facilitated prayer designed to open the eyes of our hearts to the reality of Jesus' presence in every circumstance of our lives. Discovering Jesus’ presence with us, and experiencing a taste of His joy and delight transforms even the most difficult memories and brings significant healing.

"Darrell Brazell’s work strongly influences my approach to therapy for Christian men struggling with sexual purity issues. His integrative style – relating attachment theory and brain science to addiction – is a wonderful treatment approach for Christian men seeking relief from sexual addictions. He clearly conceptualizes and applies cutting-edge theories on addiction; all along revealing Biblical truths that accurately reflect and parallel what the most recent scientific discoveries reveal to us about the formation of addictive tendencies in individuals.
