The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the ways in which the paradoxical intention(PI) technique of logotherapy are being utilized in Christian counseling with women. The two Bible characters, Queen Esther and Jesus Christ, are examined to demonstrate the theological significance of the self–transcendence and self–detachment components of PI. In bringing PI and women into the conversation, a few negative as well as positive influences which PI can have on women are presented. The negatives of PI on women include the danger of severing themselves from their true selves and thus losing their voices, while the positives accentuate the possibilities of PI empowering women to gain more freedom and thus reclaim their authentic selves. Finally this paper offers some practical Christian counseling techniques that can enhance the utility of the paradoxical intention(PI) with women. In doing so, Neuger’s five Rs are introduced and explored, namely remembering, reframing, reversing, re–imagining, and restorying.
