From “Heartwounds” by Dr. Tian Dayton: how can counselling help ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Clients who succeed in therapy exhibit or acquire certain qualities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) they are able to self-reflect<\/em> – that is, they look at their own thinking, feeling, and behaviour and have enough emotional distance from their self-identification so that they see themselves realistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) They take their own good advice and live by it<\/em> rather than spending valuable time and energy digging trenches, then sitting in and defending them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) They identify what they are feeling<\/em> and articulate it to themselves and others<\/em>, which gives them the ability to face the pain of loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4) They identify their issues<\/em> and live with a realistic rather than an idealized view of themselves, and when life hurts they are able to own<\/em> their issues and work with<\/em> them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(5) They cope with loss by calling it by its correct name<\/em>, and move through<\/em> the emotional turmoil<\/em> of a grieving process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(6) They separate the past from the present<\/em>, which allows them to live in today without sabotaging it with unresolved, unfinished business from the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(7) They find meaning and purpose<\/em> in their struggle, which is how spiritual transformation and growth take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(8) They use life struggles not only to get through, but to grow, thus deepening and strengthening their relationship with life and self and others “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
