What Is Sozo?
Sozo is a Greek word used over 100 times in the New Testament that means “saved, healed, and delivered.” It’s also the name of our gentle, Spirit-led ministry that brings emotional healing and prophetic deliverance.
What to Expect
A few things to know before your first Sozo.
Gentle and Spirit-led
Each Sozo is unique. It’s a prophetic partnership between you, your ministerial team, and the Holy Spirit.
90 minute sessions
Each Sozo session is 90 minutes long, and you can meet in person or virtually.
Booked as you need it
Sozo isn’t a process-based service. Most people come back anywhere from 1 to 12 months after their first session.
How Is Sozo Different from Counseling?
Both help you heal. They just work differently.
Sozo
A gentle, prophetic, Spirit-led ministry. Sozo is not counseling, coaching, or talk therapy, and sessions are scheduled as the need arises.
Most people leave with emotional healing, spiritual clarity, and a stronger ability to hear God’s voice.
Counseling
A process-based service where you work through past and current situations with a trusted, professional counselor who helps you build healthier relational tools.
It’s also a great follow-up after a Sozo, to process whatever comes up. Learn about counseling
Not sure where to start? We suggest that most new clients begin with a Sozo. If you’re in the middle of a traumatic situation or have had a recent loss, we suggest starting with counseling.
Good to Know
How often should I book Sozo sessions?
Sozo isn’t a process-based service, so sessions are scheduled as the need arises. Most people come back for another Sozo anywhere from 1 to 12 months after their first session. Sometimes, usually when there is a high level of past trauma, you or your Sozo minister may suggest more consistent appointments. You may also benefit from alternating between Sozo and counseling to process whatever comes up.
Where does Sozo come from?
Sozo began in 1998, started by Dawna De Silva and Teresa Liebscher, and has since spread to many countries. The Transformation Center is the birthplace of the international Sozo ministry.
Will my counselor use Sozo?
Your counselor may use Sozo tools in a session, or refer you to a Sozo minister as needed.
