Faith and Counseling …
hand-in-hand working
together
 |
Counseling can provide a safe place, a "sacred space," to feel sad,
angry, unsure, joyous … and to know that God created us with
feelings and that God remains with us as we struggle and feel. Honestly
examining our lives, especially when trials are upon us, is a
long-respected faith tradition.
|
|
Spiritual commitments
need not be an unhealthy "opiate." Instead, one’s faith can
be a positive resource for recovery and growth.
|
|
An effective therapist
will be a human representative of qualities attributed to God:
open-hearted listening, genuine caring, and judiciously mingling mercy
and truth.
|
|
"The glory of God is a
human being fully alive." Learning to know ourselves in counseling
assists us in living more fully, with purpose, courage, and vitality.
|
|
Spirituality focuses
on relationships — with God and with other people. Therapy
helps us connect and love more satisfyingly.
|
|
Professional, effective and spiritually
sensitive counseling is available. Is this a time for you to avail
yourself of an opportunity for assistance in your journey of faith and
life?
