Isaiah 61:1-3
“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,..to comfort all who mourn,...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.”

Having counseled survivors of abuse for nearly thirty years now (physical, sexual, emotional, psychological), Millie realizes much of our psychological and physical problems are a result of prolonged stress and/or trauma. We know more now than ever because of brain research regarding the effects of trauma on the brain, that what we assume, fear, perceive or believe activates the bio-chemicals in our bodies which cause many physiological dynamics to take place in our body which can help us survive during stressful and traumatic times. Whether the stress and trauma is caused by living in the same house with people who are fighting and arguing, or living with people who are on drugs and alcohol – perhaps both – or if the stress is living with insecurity and rejection or abandonment. In some cases, the trauma is being removed from the home which, whether good or bad, had provided a family and some sense of belonging.
Having been a Parenting Educator for 10 years before becoming a counselor, Millie recognized the need for some adults to be re-parented – to find a way to teach them how to care for their own mental, emotional and physical well-being. This led to the beginning of a process of providing classes as needed by her survivors. These classes provided an opportunity to learn what they had missed in the way of socialization and healthy nurturing. Just as Christians need to be taught God’s Word following receiving Christ into their lives, people who have received healing through prayer and deliverance, still need teachings to establish themselves as the persons of worth God created them to be. Most of them have not been given the opportunity to see themselves or their world through God’s eyes.
After having led these classes for several years, in 1992 God directed Millie to identify the most important classes needed to bring about a healthy transformation and re-entry into their world. She consulted with her clients and other counselors, and came up with several goals that would help accomplish this task:
- To know what God’s laws are and know how to apply their healing power to our lives
- To learn how our body and mind work together to determine our behavior
- To learn how to communicate our own needs
- Learn how to establish healthy, caring relationships
- To learn the importance of setting healthy boundaries for our lives (knowing how to keep the bad out and the good in our lives and being strong enough)
- To be strong enough to be able to say NO to the bad and YES to that which is good
- To break the power of our addictions
- To learn relational skills that will help establish gifts and talents that will allow survivors to take their God-given place in their families and in the world.
Once this was established, a series of classes was designed which includes two books Millie has written to accomplish that task: PATHWAYS TO HOPE AND HEALING and WHY WE CAN’T “JUST GET OVER IT”. These books plus others listed below do indeed bring about transformation and are all biblically based teachings. These classes have been taught to hundreds of wounded people with amazing results. Here are just a few testimonies .
Each class provides specific training that is needed to become a functioning, sociable, relational person of worth. CLASSES OFFERED ARE:
