Integrasi Model Pastoral Healing dan Doa Kesembuhan Ilahi dalam Pemulihan Psiko-Spiritual Jemaat yang Mengalami Trauma Emosional
Abstrak
This study departs from the premise that emotional trauma in congregants constitutes a psycho-spiritual wound that disrupts meaning, identity, relationships, and trust in God. Church practice has tended to be fragmented: pastoral healing operates as emotional accompaniment, while divine healing prayer functions as a separate spiritual act. Using a constructive method, this study formulates an integrative model that connects them both in a trauma-informed, theological, and operational framework. The ministry sequence encompasses safe reception, wound assessment, meaning reconstruction, discerning healing prayer, community reintegration, and referral when necessary. This integration enables the church to serve as a healing community that neither oversimplifies trauma nor detaches suffering from the horizon of faith. The primary contribution of this study is a holistic, responsible, and applicable psycho-spiritual ministry model for local churches accompanying congregants who experience emotional trauma.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertolak dari pemahaman bahwa trauma emosional pada jemaat merupakan luka psiko-spiritual yang merusak makna, identitas, relasi, dan kepercayaan kepada Allah. Praktik gereja selama ini cenderung parsial: pastoral healing berjalan sebagai pendampingan emosional, sedangkan doa kesembuhan ilahi hadir sebagai tindakan rohani yang terpisah. Dengan metode konstruktif, penelitian ini merumuskan model integratif yang mempertautkan keduanya secara trauma-informed, teologis, dan operasional. Alur pelayanan mencakup penerimaan aman, pembacaan luka, rekonstruksi makna, doa kesembuhan yang diskretif, reintegrasi ke komunitas, serta kolaborasi rujukan bila diperlukan. Integrasi ini memungkinkan gereja hadir sebagai komunitas pemulihan yang tidak menyederhanakan trauma sekaligus tidak melepaskan penderitaan dari horison iman. Kontribusi utama penelitian ini adalah tersusunnya model pelayanan psikospiritual yang holistik, bertanggung jawab, dan aplikatif bagi gereja lokal dalam mendampingi jemaat yang mengalami trauma emosional.
