Addressing Unfulfilled Needs

ADDRESSING THE UNFULFILLED NEEDS IN SPIRITUAL COUNSELING

I listen actively to clients when they tell me their stories. When I say "actively" it means listening to their stories with a present awareness of their patterns reflective of unfulfilled needs. Naturally, it takes a good deal of experience to pick up the depth, degree, and dimension of the dissonance as they tell me their stories.

I'm successful in my own processing in addressing my own unfulfilled needs. The unfulfilled needs can include many feelings reflective of emotions. The need for emotional security through nurturing is one major unfulfilled need that comes up in an individual's story all the time.

How do we address the unfulfilled need for emotional security? I extend loving compassion to the client. It will come from me in my body language, verbally, a touch of the hand. How I do it is significant. The client will respond by daring to feel their emotions surrounding their hurt, trauma, emotional distress reflective of a myriad of issues.

The issues could include betrayal from or by someone, separation, neglect, abandonment or other reason. I'm always effective in addressing the unfulfilled needs of clients and supporting them in processing through the feelings reflective of the emotions.

 Please feel free to correspond with me about an issues that you are confronted by. I have a spiritual practice in San Diego California and I can be reached through e-mail at jVorensky@sciti.com

 

Best
