Facilitating Spiritual Passages-Click Here
This course brings to the practicing counselor the ways and means for assisting clients with spiritual concerns. Sensitive counselors will recognize that, overtly or covertly, clients do bring their spiritual concerns to the helping and healing relationship. Here you will find an understanding of spirituality that speaks to the concern of counselors not to be sectarian or prescriptive. Understandings, skills, exercises - all tools that have direct application to the helping process are presented. The evolution of spirituality in recovery from illness, and in the life cycle generally, is presented in a way that makes clear the intervention technologies that are called for. Healing reaches all domains of human nature: physical, emotional, mental, relational, and spiritual. Counselors will come from this course with greater ability to recognize the spiritual issues of clients and greater comfort and skill for the task of facilitating their spiritual pilgrimage.
