Had my second Biblical Counseling class tonight. Again, very interesting. I thought I’d post what my teacher said his counseling methodology was. It was very insightful. Here’s what he does when he counsels:
Listens for unbiblical thinking and counters it with Biblical truth.
He said he doesn’t address if they’re on drugs or not (though if they ask him to help them get off any medications they might be on, I know he’ll work with a doctor to develop a regimen or method for weening them off the meds). His main point is to help them begin to think rightly. The emphasis is that if a person can encounter Biblical truth and allow that to affect them and change the way they think (so they are thinking more Biblically), then change will inevitably come to their lives.
Oh, and I am so blogging this over my break in class…
