How To Become A Counselor In Christian Alcohol Treatment Centers

By Bernadette Martin


Human as we are we sometimes let down our self that may lead us to a very hard recovery process. We tend to acquire the help of other people so we could ask for their advice and be comforted by our situation as well. We seek them because we know they will inspire us to change and become a better person the we might not thought that we could be.

Others, they are just so happy in counseling other people to change for the better version of themselves. They just want to inspire them and be their guide in bringing them closer back to God. Most of them are found in Christian alcohol treatment centers wherein they give half of their time in helping other Christians.

Because you are so determined to be a counselor, you must have these certain qualities that counselors possess. You should be a compassionate one. You must always understand the situation of the people that you are helping with. You should understand while deeply receiving the pain through your heart, you should also give courage to them and help them stand and get out from this unhappiness.

Aside from being a compassionate person, you must also be a good communicator. You must ask them carefully with decent questions. You should also share your thoughts and advices to them by using the precise words that would not hurt and, most especially, insult them that might push them to be down to themselves so much further though your job is to help them lift up.

Being a good communicator is not enough if you are not a good problem solver. The main reason that you are counseling is to help them take the right way through your solutions. You should know how to weigh the benefits and the negative effects that could possibly happen with solutions. You know that it is hard because the life of someone else is at stake when this will not turn out good but you must be courageous enough to face these.

You should be able to persuade them to adopt the solution. Honestly tell to them the advantages and disadvantages of the solution that you have proposed. Also, you should tell what are your evaluations to this and that site an example from the experience of other people so as relate to any biblical verses the situation your client is in. Give them time to intake all of these and make sure they will have a very good judgment with this.

Another is dedication and passion. It will take you time to give answers to your client. Your first meeting will be all about sharing, the next session you already readied your self with the solution that would best help them. Your personal opinion will always not be enough and that you need research so you could have a better understanding with the situation.

The most important quality that you must have is proper education. With this, you will not just have good and better judgments on the situations that you will be facing with your clients but you will also bring confidence to yourself because you have a knowledge on these things. You did not just make your dream come true but you also have helped others to not be weary anymore.

If you want to counsel people one day, all you must have are these qualities. You also have to equip yourself with the right knowledge. Go and find these qualities to yourself so you may become a good counselor one day.
