    What I took away was- don’t talk with a counselee with a judgmental “we are going to fix this” attitude/thought. Don’t offer a bandaid (verse or platitude) as a prescription. Don’t just them to “just do xx” to fix the problem, as in if they tried hard enough they’ll overcome it.
    Do listen to and bring in the Holy Spirit to the conversation. Do be “dying to know” what is going on inside of that person- all of it.

    The “don’t” that I tend to do most often is offer support. I like to help people so it is my nature to offer assistance when they are struggling. I genuinely want to make it better in any way I can. I have a harder time in the moment to always stop and reflectively think. This “do” is hardest for me because there are times when I know the person is expecting a quick answer or I am perceiving that energy. I have been working on this as it doesn’t always allow for the Spirit to answer.

    Of the three don’t I think I offer support too often. When I say that I will pray for you – or how can I pray – I genuinely mean that I will be praying for them. Maybe there’s a time later for that – and on some of the relationships I might be there. I guess I don’t think reflectively enough. It’s too easy to want to say something but God is teaching me to stop and listen and ponder.

    Of the three ” don’t” directives, i would say that I tend to offer support through prayer and affirmation perhaps more quickly than I should.I am very empathetic and want to move toward ppl in relationship perhaps too quickly. This is a good word and for which i will ponder more. Of the “do” directives, I am defintitely afraid of silence. I like to fill the room quickly with another question; this is something of which I will ask God to help me with as I move into soul care.

    The three basic don’t, the one I tend to do is to offer support immediately because I feel at that time you have to show some empathy and care towards this person. I tend to offer prayers because I believe that God can change any situation. After this lecture I have come to understand that as much as those things are important but that should not be the first thing to do because this person is looking for someone who will work with him on this journey.
