A Note from Hope Katz Gibbs, publisher, Inkandescent Women magazine — I am thrilled to introduce our audience to psychotherapist Kara Kihm, author of “Discovering My Wings.”
Faith guides the way to our healing
Hello, my name is Kara Kihm and I’m a faith based counselor with 18 years experience as a psychotherapist. I specialize in working with Highly Sensitive People and I have a special place in my heart for highly sensitive women, empaths and intuitives because I am all of those.
I work with people who are anxious, exhausted, burned out from life and are functioning off of adrenaline and cortisol to make it through the day. I provide nervous system regulation to help you find balance in your life, in your body, and with your emotions through a faith centered approach.
If you think you may be a Highly Sensitive Person and have a fried nervous system, take my QUIZ HERE to learn more.
I will help you:
- Feel safe in the world through connecting with your faith
- Learn to trust that God is always leading you even in the darkest of times
- Feel centered and grounded in your life
- Create a healthy relationship with your sensitivities
- Listen to your inner wisdom and intuition which is the voice of God speaking through you.
I use an integrative approach focusing on the mind, body, and spirit. In my session, I incorporate prayer, DBT, somatic healing, meditative practices, breathing techniques, imagery, astrology and a practice called Mana Gardening.
When I learned work with my sensitivities, began to honor them, and found my faith as the pillar of my life, everything transformed. I believe that our intuition is how God communicates with us and I’ve written about my journey to finding my intuition, in my book Discovering My Wings. I hope it brings inspiration to your journey.
I have been through some major losses and traumas in my life and if it weren’t for my faith I don’t think I would have overcome what I have. I went through a very challenging divorce which shook my faith to it’s core. I lost my only sibling in a shocking and sudden way. Then I lost my job and was left with no income. There were months I couldn’t pay my mortgage. In addition to therapy, Faith has been the light that has guided my way into healing during each of these dark times.
As I’ve deepened into my relationship with the Lord through my traumas, he has shown up with some miraculous healings and I want to share two testimonies. For as long as I can remember, I have had a terrifying fear of flying. I have done every type of therapy for my fear and even tried hypnotherapy, yet nothing moved the needle. My fear was too deeply ingrained. When my daughter was 8 years old I had to take an emergency flight with her. I got on my knees and prayed to Jesus with all of my heart and soul. As I prayed I felt him come into my heart, remove my fear in an instant and completely free me of my paralysis. In an instant, Jesus had removed what a decade of therapy never had touched. I now tangibly know the healing power of Jesus and how we can transform emotional pain.
When I was 13 years old I had back surgery and couldn’t walk for many months. My back has rarely bothered me since that time, but occasionally I am overwhelmed with pain. I signed up for a conference regarding my business and injured my back seriously a few days before. I decided to attend the conference for the morning session only just to meet new people and connect. A prayer team greeted me at the door at the Christian conference and prayed over me. My back was instantly healed and I was able to attend 3 full days at the conference from 9am-9pm and my back remains healed.
I have personally experienced the healing powers of Jesus and seen miracles unfold with physical and emotional pain. After these experiences I want everyone to know the healing power available through Jesus.
I am taking on new clients, booking speaking engagements, and hosting powerful transformative Meetups. I offer free 15 minute consultations.
