What is a Counselor?
Not so long ago I wrote a post titled ‘How Do We Get There’. It was quite a long and in depth piece of writing. In it we found a number of ways to know the will of God. One of these was going to a counselor.
A counselor is a person, man or woman who can give advice on almost anything. Some counselors may just specialize in certain areas. That is to say they may only counsel males. They may only talk with women and their associated problems. Then there are specialized areas. Sex, peer pressure, divorce and so on.
When counseling I will always try to give at lease two or three answers. That way my client has to do some thinking. They have to sit down and think about which scenario best fits.
None of us is perfect and neither are we qualified to play God. But we are here to help and I think the majority of people understand this. So what is a counselor? They are a person who will listen and then give you advice that will do one of two things.
1. Can provoke further thought and investigation of your problem.
2. Will confirm what you already know to be true.
