Basic Training, Class 4 Outline
William Gaultiere, Ph.D.
Executive Director of the New Hope Crisis Counseling Center
Some of the people we chat with are difficult
people to deal with. They may be abusive, raging, sexually inappropriate,
or, more commonly, just stuck in their problems. Responding
to these people requires a different approach. As New Hope
Counselors we always need to be kind and caring to people, but
with these difficult people we need to limit our time and “speak
the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15). In this class Dr. Bill
, modeling his approach after Jesus, teaches you how to be kind
and firm, how to use care and limits.
