Psalm 139:13-14
For you created my innermost being; knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
If you’ve ever asked yourself the question, “Why do I make the decisions I make, or why do I do the things I do,” then you are asking about your temperament.
Temperament therapy is based on helping you discover your in-born temperament and the needs associated with your temperament. This form of therapy assists in understanding how to live out of your God-given strengths and to overcome your weakness in healthy ways. You gain an understanding of who you are created to be and how you can improve your mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
