Episode 167: What We Do With Problems

Clients normally seek mental health help when they are facing "problems" they feel they can't resolve.  A question others ask us is, "If you're not paying attention to their problems and helping them to solve them, then why do they keep coming to you?"  Some people are concerned that we "brush off" problems and don't listen to our clients.  Grounding in the Principles makes it natural for us to listen for and touch the innate mental health in our clients, even as they are describing their problems and concerns.  We try to hear beyond the details to the understanding natural to all people.  It doesn't matter what we're talking about with clients, we move in the direction of health and wisdom.  We don't see our clients as broken or damaged by events in their past or their lives now.  We speak from our trust in innate mental health and our understanding of how the mind works to draw out their health and help them realize the nature of thought, and the gifts they have to awaken to their own wisdom.Support the show
