Soul Care #31: Wrapping Up

I have reached the end of my notes. This last post covers a Q&A time at the end that didn't fit clearly into any one topic:

How about daughter's struggling with body image?
The greatest impact on a daughter's view of her body comes from the response of her father. If a daughter experiences the delight and care of her father as she enters puberty, she will most likely be secure. If she senses her dad backing away from her during these awkward years, she will often have struggles over her body image.

How do you deal with forgotten memories?
This is a difficult, inexact area. For clients think something happened that is possibly suppressed, we can pray together that God will reveal what you should remember. Often times, they start having dreams, or the sense of a memory goes away.

How about counseling someone of a different faith?
God's principles work, even if they aren't named as such. And yet, the person who comes to you with a need is ripe to hear another way, (because obviously the things they have tried aren't working!).

What if your BOSS is the one who needs help?
When someone has no voice with their leadership, it is very debilitating to their work. If your leader is approachable, ask them, "Would you be willing to get some feedback about what it's like to work under you?" Then share your feelings, not your judgments.

I'll break this up into 2 sections...
