So many walk through life with pain directing their day-to-day.
It can show itself in different ways. It could be something as simple as nerves before every business presentation. A bad habit you can’t seem to kick. Or that tough topic that you just can’t bring up to your spouse because it hurts so much.
Why did I do that?
Why can’t I just be myself?
Why do I always mess up?
You might try harder and harder to be better. But where does that get you?
Don’t let exhaustion or hopelessness get in your way.
At CrossCounsel, we use a simple and powerful method that we’ve developed called MELT to help you find where your pain is really coming from and bring resolution so you can face the future with confidence.
The MELT Process
Memory
Our responses to life come not from the memories or experiences themselves but from how we’ve interpreted them—and those interpretations are often distorted. MELT helps you connect with memories that logic alone can’t uncover. By engaging your emotions—through the God-designed connection between feelings and memories—many are surprised by what emerges, even from a childhood they thought they couldn’t recall.
Emotion
We feel what we believe. Emotions are a great barometer—they expose our deeply held heart-beliefs—but they’re a terrible thermometer because they don’t always reflect reality accurately. Instead of dismissing or ignoring emotions, we can use them to uncover distorted beliefs. The “Sticks and Stones” approach to emotions only pushes down pain and buries beliefs, leading to more problems. By feeling those emotions, we can connect with and address the wrong beliefs behind them. If you have trouble feeling emotions, we can help.
Lie/Belief
Once your heart is feeling the negative emotions and connected to a relevant memory, we help you uncover the core lie—those wrong beliefs causing your pain, which can never be true in God’s economy. Many approaches fall short of addressing these beliefs, but this is where we specialize. Memories don’t cause pain; it’s the beliefs tied to them. Not knowing how to identify these beliefs and stay emotionally engaged are significant reasons why people don’t experience God’s Truth and, ultimately, don’t receive freedom from emotional pain.
Truth/Transformation
When ownership of false, core beliefs is taken and all resistance is removed, the core lies in memories are offered up to Jesus. We’ve seen God deliver Truth into memories—through seeing, hearing, sensing, or a combination of these. When God’s experiential Truth comes, it dispels lies, creating a profound shift in how the memory feels, regardless of how traumatic it was. This brings peace and transformation that naturally extends into the present and into the future, potentially changing generations!
MELT changes lives
“I’d learned how to abstain from alcohol but not how to overcome my secret battle with the bottle. I believed I was totally unacceptable and that led me to drink. Through CrossCounsel, I found that Jesus was calling me to Himself with open arms. I’m thrilled to report that there has been no desire to drink since I worked with CrossCounsel and learned that I am accepted.”

“I don't know what my life would be like without this process! It has deepened my communication with Jesus on so many levels!”

“Weakness dominated my heart for years. When I opened the door, the Lord showed how much he was protecting me, even in those times. This beautiful, transformational experience set me on a path that I couldn’t have imagined even a year ago.”
