Publisher's Synopsis
Lowell Routley, Ph.D. has trained therapists who work with victims of extreme trauma in The Core Integrity Model(c) that he developed since 1988. Dr. Routley has over 40 years of experience in which he has witnessed the resilience of the human mind and spirit to heal in spite of horrific violence, torture, and mind control. His counseling skills grew through post-graduate education but he attributes his greatest learning to have come from the victims themselves. Courageous people of all ages, seeking answers to be freed from mental and spiritual bondage, demonstrate that the Creator endowed the human mind with abilities to preserve their Creator-given identity. The Core Integrity Model(c) was applied to other areas of counseling since 2005. The foundation for this model is two-fold: first is that neurocognitive scientific research provides an understanding of how the human mind is directed by Core consciousness; second illustrates that faith in a personal Creator empowers healing. Dr. Routley finds congruence between faith and science. He claims that scientists are observing the Creator's handiwork even though they may not acknowledge Him. Lowell's education in counseling began at Greenville College and continued at Southern Illinois University, University of Iowa, and Walden University. His knowledge of the Bible began as a hearing impaired child challenged to memorize verses from seven years of age. He learned over three thousand verses giving him an overview of scripture that he uses as relevant in his counseling and teaching ministry. It is Lowell's opinion that faith community is very important in healing and growth for every individual. A pilot study with a small group of four couples became the impetus for this series: Coming to Awe, Finding Identity. Lowell hopes that you will experience the awe that comes from knowing your Creator and who He intended you to be.
