    I do naturally want to help, and give obvious advice, and support. I realize that ultimately, we want to see change in a positive direction. That advice may very well be the right direction, but premature advice and support may short circuit the changes God is trying to make in my life, by trusting the CE to the care of the Lord and allow Him to make the difference. Changing behavior, without addressing the motivation behind it will merely make this a “moral model” that merely changes the behaviors. Sometimes this “pull, or pressure” I feel has to do with my issues of being competent and hoping that this counseling relationship will have a positive change early on in counseling. The fact of the matter is that God is the heart changer, and the desired change is outside of my control.

    ‘Give Advice probably from a desire to be in control of out of control situations is a don’t I do most often. And ‘listening’ I could be better at for a ‘do’ for SoulCare. In particular listening more closely and attentively again stemming back to control and advice to be helpful with the right answers.

    Of what I shouldn’t do, I probably offer advice and support right away (at times). Of what I should do, but fail to do (at times) is listen closely and ask questions.

    As to which one of the three basic don’ts of SoulCare I most often do. I don’t believe I set one. I believe it depends on the circumstance and who I am speaking as to what I may not do. For example, if I am speaking to a friend with a child I my not advise as I don’t have children. I as far as dos I ask questions and try my best to listen closely.

    For the don’ts, I tend towards giving advise. I tend towards problem solving by performing analysis and then offering a way or ways to solve the probem. This is what I do for work. Unfortunately, it does not build the relationship or look towards providing the desired soul care.
    For the do’s, I don’t sit back and reflect on what the person has said. I can ask the questions, but that is to get information, not
    necessarily to get to “know” the person.
