Biblical Foundation to Identity and Healing
Ipseity Approach™ - Your Biblical Identity Matrix
The Four Stages of
Layer 1 - Heart Healed
Biblical Foundations to LOVE GOD with our whole heart first.
These 4 stages are part of the first layer of this Biblical Identity Matrix. After, you move through these 4 stages of Heart Healed, you will be able to walk in TRUTH, as a disciple of Jesus Christ.You will no longer be questioning your decisions, but KNOWING without a shadow of a doubt who you are at your core, and then can explore the rest of your incredible God given design.
Overwhelmed by details? Here's a quick overview for the Cedar/Fir/Olive and maybe Pine (depending on where your currently invested with your time and healing journey). Come back here when you're ready to dive deeper.
But as for the Myrtle, Box Tree and Acacia Heart-tree Archetypes, let's continue on to dive into the details!
The Journey to your Heart Healed
While I have done the matrix work for you, today is where your journey begins anew. Most of the teachings, trainings and learning we have done has been about our head knowledge. How much can we learn so that we can force ourselves to be the best we can be for Christ? I encourage you to leave the striving, and walk with me through a journey of what it looks like to SURRENDER everything to Christ.
I have survived so much trauma, that I can personally relate to most people in any room, not all, thankfully, but most. My journey started off with being stripped of my identity when I entered foster care, shortly after my mom died. I was only 21 months old. BUT GOT! Yes, this journey is the break forth that God took me on to redeem all that through his Son's sacrifice on the cross.
To not only be set free from Narcissistic abuse, celiac but so, so much more.
Journey with me as I explain the 4 stages in the Heart Level of the Ipseity Approach to your Biblical Identity Matrix: Constrained and Released as the first two stages, and sadly that is where we find most people in the church, as well as outside of the Church. This is what the statistics are no different, we have not been taught the true healing available. These principles are taken from the BIBLE, they are not of any denomination, nor promote any denomination. As long as you know Christ as your saviour, or even if you don't (yet), you can trust the wisdom of Old, given to us by our Creator to inspire your heart to be set free.
A Blessing for You
Precious child of the most High God, I thank GOD for you being here, by whatever means He wooed you here.
I bless you and your spirit to led by the HOLY SPIRIT to receive what God has in store for you today.
May your heart, mind, body and soul be good soil to receive truth from God.
I command all power, principalities and schemes from the enemy to distract you away from you NOW in the name of Jesus.
I thank God for you Breaking Forth and receiving the truth of who you are, who GOD designed you to be.
Shalom, JoElle

Ipseity Approach™ Identity - Heart-FIRST
Heart Stage 1 - Constrained
Stage 1 -
Heart Constrained
Operating under generational strongholds,
personal trauma and wounded patterns.
Most people start here, as they identify the weights they have been carrying are far too heavy, operating from survival mode rather than their true design.
Do you feel
Trapped by circumstances or relationships
Exhausted despite constant activity
Driven by fear, performance, or others' opinions
Stuck in the same patterns repeatedly
Common signs
Personality test results keep changing, chronic overwhelm, difficulty receiving from God or others, feels distant from purpose.
Are you exhausted from trying but getting nowhere?
You are not broken, but your heart is hurting.
Most people spend years in therapy, taking personality tests, and trying to "fix" themselves, but nothing sticks because they're addressing symptoms, not the root. Many are offered cognitive behavioral therapies that are not working long term because the heart is not being engaged.
The real problem?
Your heart is operating constrained. This simply means that you are carrying burdens that you were never meant to carry. It could be generational strongholds, personal trauma or wounded behaviors meant to keep you safe (The "Fight or flight" response).
You might be constrained if:
- You feel like you're living someone else's life, not your own
- You're constantly exhausted even when you're "successful"
- People drain you because you can't say no without guilt
- You sabotage good things because you don't feel worthy
- You're the "strong one" everyone leans on, but no one sees your pain
- You know you're called to more but feel stuck in survival mode
Here's what makes Ipseity Approach™ different
Each of the 7 Heart Tree archetypes gets constrained in completely different ways.
- Cedar (constrained) fights everyone's battles while neglecting their own calling.
- Box Tree (constrained) accommodates until they're overwhelmed and withdraw.
- Pine (constrained) withholds wisdom to maintain control.
This is why generic solutions don't work. Your heart design determines how you get stuck AND how you get free. We have not been taught how to listen to our hearts, only our minds.
First, we have to do the work to discover your true heart type.
However, when you're operating under a wounded heart it takes some real dedication to look at both aspects, wounded and healed of the designs to really see what your authentic self is revealing. This is why personality tests keep changing because wounded patterns mask your true design.
Ready to break free?
The Break Forth Challenge helps you identify your Heart Tree archetype, then provides specific tools designed for YOUR unique healing journey.
Make the Committment, you owe it to yourself!
Are you asking: "What now? What do I need to do first?" Easy, make the commitment to yourself to Break Forth, to not stay stuck. Commit to engaging with Ipseity Approach™ materials designed for your specific Heart Tree archetype.
Let us help you move forward from any way your heart may be constrained. Even if you have done generational work, we want to make sure no one has any pattern or stronghold missed, by taking a shortcut (do you know that can bring about a negative Soul Dynamic, we learn all about those in Stage 3!)
Made the commitment? Now you are ready to move to Stage 2: Heart Released
Keep scrolling to go through an overview of all 4 stages to Ipseity Approach™ your way to YOU!
Ipseity Approach™ Identity - Heart-FIRST
Heart Stage 2 - Released
Stage 2 -
Heart Released
You've recognized patterns and committed to learning new truths; SURRENDER moves you from Released to Healed
Most Believers are stuck in Released stage. They've committed to change but still fight the patterns and carry the burdens. SURRENDER them to JESUS!
Heart-Tree Released
Cedar starts questioning whether their suffering moves God's heart - beginning to rest without guilt
Acacia (Released) starts solving their own problems instead of everyone else's
Myrtle (Released) begins processing without the pressure to decide immediately
Olive (Released) starts addressing conflict instead of staying surface positive
Pine (Released) feels safe enough to share wisdom without needing to control the outcome
Fir (Released) begins trusting others with responsibilities instead of controlling everything
Box Tree (Released) begins to recognize emotional manipulation and starts saying no to some requests
Common signs
Faith growing but still fragile under pressure, reverting to old patterns under stress, feeling frustrated that change isn't happening fast enough
Once you make the commitment to Break Forth
Now the real work begins!
Break Forth from the cycles keeping you hindered.
This is what commitment looks like, applying the Break Forth Blueprint for Heart-FIRST freedom! We know the patterns your heart has been repeating, maybe for generations, exhausting you and making life harder than it needs to be. Isn't time to surrender them?
Principles of Biblical Warfare
At Ipseity Approach™, we teach Principles of Biblical Warfare. We do not see Jezebel as a 'curse', but a biblical character that gives us understanding of a Soul Dynamic and see if it is happening in our life, or ministry. We need to lean in for the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom regarding the root reason of the Soul Dynamic. The root causes, or soul dynamics need to be addressed through the word, and doing as the Bible instructs as the "Bride of Christ" washing ourselves in the word through Christ, our Redeemer.
Soul Dynamics
Some denominations call them "curses", others call them "Spiritual Laws", others avoid any connotation that could be seen as "deliverance". Ipseity Approaches these as dynamics that affect us at the soul level, hence the term SOUL DYNAMICS. They are not curses, and loosely "Spiritual Laws". However, these hit much closer to home. Soul Dynamics will either constrain you with strongholds, or release blessings to you. This is not a name it and claim it, no this is choosing God first in your decisions, not enabling or controlling others. It is truly learning how to walk surrendered as a disciple of Christ.
The 7 Soul Dynamics
Break Forth teaches a blueprint to break free from 7 Soul Dynamics found in God's Word to release blessings from broken strongholds. These teachings, backed by over 100 years of research and Biblical Truth, have radically transformed hundreds of lives through Principles of Biblical Warfare:
- Favor from Injustice
- Nurture from Neglect
- Resources from Lack
- Support from Exploitation
- Protection from Hindered
- Authority from Betrayal
- Alignment from Oppression
After this, you will Break Forth to your healing, just like it says in Isaiah 58:8, where God led me to name the study course for Ipseity Approach™. You will no longer be trying to avoid the flames, you start to walk in authority. Not only recognizing the patterns that have kept you stuck, but with the tools to not remain there. This is where hope begins to replace exhaustion, but it's also where the real results start to show.
Stuck in Released?
I have seen many Christians, good hearted, life long believers who are stuck in Heart Released stage, because they have not been instructed to move from committed to Surrendered to Christ is how to walk as a disciple. The biggest challenge is striving and fighting these battles every day, instead of knowing the soul dynamics and surrendering them to Jesus.
Ask yourself, are you just Committed to your being Heart Released from being Constrained, or are you ready to Live Surrendered to receive a Heart Healed of the strongholds?
Surrender it all to Jesus.
From commitment to SURRENDER
Surrender is what moving from Stage 2 Released to Stage 3 Healed looks like. You move from your commitment to Break Forth, to surrendering it all the Christ. Freedom for your Heart-FIRST is what "Break Forth Blueprint" is all about! Yes, here at Ipseity we know the patterns your heart has been repeating over and over, maybe for generations. Exhausting you, devouring your resources and confusing life to be harder, maybe way harder than it needs to be.
Surrendered all the Soul Dynamics? Now you are ready to move to Stage 3: Heart Healed

Perfect! Here's the revised content with that focus:
Are you exhausted from trying so hard but getting nowhere?
You're not broken. You're constrained.
Most people spend years in therapy, taking personality tests, and trying to "fix" themselves - but nothing sticks because they're addressing symptoms, not the root.
The real problem? Your heart is operating under generational strongholds and trauma patterns that were never meant to be yours to carry.
You might be constrained if:
- You feel like you're living someone else's life, not your own
- You're constantly exhausted even when you're "successful"
- People drain you because you can't say no without guilt
- You sabotage good things because you don't feel worthy
- You're the "strong one" everyone leans on, but no one sees your pain
- You know you're called to more but feel stuck in survival mode
Here's what makes this different: Each of the 7 Heart Tree archetypes gets constrained in completely different ways. A constrained Cedar fights everyone's battles while neglecting their own calling. A constrained Box Tree accommodates until they're overwhelmed and withdraw. A constrained Pine withholds wisdom to maintain control.
This is why generic solutions don't work. Your heart design determines how you get stuck AND how you get free.
But first, we have to do the work to discover your true heart type. When you're operating under constraint, personality tests keep changing because wounded patterns mask your authentic design.
Ready to break free? The Break Forth Challenge helps you identify your Heart Tree archetype, then provides specific tools designed for YOUR unique healing journey.
For the bottom sections, we could add progression boxes:
Ready to Move to Stage 2: Released? Make the commitment to engage with heart-healing materials designed for your specific Heart Tree archetype.
Ready to Move to Stage 3: Healed? Work through the Break Forth prayers to break generational strongholds through Jesus.
Ready to Move to Stage 4: Truth? Consistently apply the Action Activators to walk in supernatural Kingdom impact.

Recap. Why DO results keep changing?
Every major assessment system (MBTI, Big Five etc) starts with cognitive analysis.
But Scripture provides different operational parameters.
Problem: Identified
Systems are Head-First
"Lean not on your own understanding" - Prov 3:5
When your heart carries unhealed patterns, you cannot accurately assess your mind. You keep trying to do different things, without fixing the heart of the matter.
Let's access your mind through a Healed Heart design.
Solution: Easy
God's Order is Heart-First
"Love God with all your HEART"
This appears 4 times in Scripture,
in both the New and Old Testaments.
The heart is always first, and is listed in distinct order before the mind, body and soul.
Are you walking with a wounded heart?
Many cannot accurately identify their heart tree design while operating under oppressive patterns. From generational strongholds, to trauma and inherited reactions. At Ipseity Approach™, we call this wounded state walking with a "Constrained heart".
Signs you need some TLC for your Heart
Your personality test results keep changing
You feel misaligned in every career you try
Relationships consistently have the same collision patterns
You know something is "off" but can't identify what
It is not your fault though, your heart has been trying to protect you. It was wounded by personal trauma or is carrying generational baggage and strongholds, things that we were never designed to carry.
Many do identify with being in "Constrained heart", and committed to receive RELEASE from those bondages. However, that's only the beginning.
Then what happens next it incredible! Alignment.
Sudeenly things start coming into cognative alignment. You mind operates better, you know with clarity the job you will or will not take. You no longer implode or explode when your heart is challenged. You are able to walked HEALED, by the blood of Jesus. Walking in TRUTH, truly sets us free. Once our heads and hearts are in alignment most of the DIS-EASE or Distress within our body releases as well.
But at Ipseity, we know that your body is a huge commonant of your identity. When we do not eat the way our body needs, we can cloud our mind, judgement and be in a different type of constraint. So we work with you on identifying your body type.
The last component of your 4-Part Matrix is your SOUL, yes, this is how you are designed to LIVE our your calling. At Ipseity we call this your Kingdom Impact, or the SOUL LENS, your perspective on the world, and how to make an impact.
