Can Christians Seek Christian Therapy or Is it a Sin? - Heal PRAY Love

Описание: Can Christians Seek Christian Therapy or Is it a Sin? - Heal PRAY Love

In taking a quote out of context, you could unintentionally
place guilt or blame on the client,
represent yourself as a person with a shared faith,
cause the client to experience confusion surrounding God’s Word or their faith.
Instead of quoting a Scripture, get curious.
Ask the client what they understand about their faith’s position on the subject.
Explore their personal beliefs and/or their feelings related to it.
Honor their faith by digging deeper into it. Use resources (listed below).
Be honest. Don’t present yourself as something you are not. It’s okay to tell the client that you are not a Christian, but that your would like to help them reach their treatment goals in a manner that honors and incorporates their faith.

What might that look like?
On a case-by-case basis, and as is applicable and appropriate for the client, you may…
Pray with your client during session,
Have a Bible available for reference,
Remind your client that while you are the therapist, you are also a brother or sister in Christ
Identify and process specific biblical themes and how they might apply to the client’s life.

Resources
June Hunt is a well-known Christian counselor who has a YouTube Channel (   / @hopefortheheart  ) and is the author of Counseling Through Your Bible Handbook.
I have found June’s material to be most helpful. However, there are many other resources available online.
