What would it look like if you invited the Holy Spirit into your counseling session?
"Many years ago, in a teaching by Dr. Siang-Yang Tan, I was reminded that there are always three people in a counseling session: you, the counselee, and the Holy Spirit.
After years in clinical practice, I can attest that Christian counseling is most effective when it is grounded in the active presence and ministry of the Holy Spirit and sustained through intentional prayer.
While professional training and therapeutic models have value, Scripture teaches that genuine transformation occurs through God’s work in the human heart.
Counselors who rely on the Holy Spirit and cultivate a life of prayer engage in a counseling process that is not merely psychological but deeply spiritual, and ultimately more effective.”
