When pain crosses our path and becomes part of our journey, how will we respond?
Will we pause long enough to notice?
Will we allow it to be a part of your story?
In counseling, we wrestle with the past, present and future as well as our relationship with others and with God. It’s a place of honesty and vulnerability.
Often, uncomfortable emotions are stirred which we have a difficult time keeping company with. Such emotions may include guilt, shame, failure, loss, bitterness, jealousy, and anger. We would rather dismiss them and distance ourselves from them. But those are the very feelings that underlie and even influence our words, thoughts, and choices. In order for us to continually grow toward emotional and spiritual maturity, it is necessary to look deeper into our emotions - the expressions of our soul.
Professional counseling is for persons who need a safe place to explore, wrestle with, and accept who they really are and to take steps toward who they are created to be. It is for individuals, children and parents, couples (dating and married) who want to experience God’s redeeming work in the midst of their brokenness.
