as i get more and more one-on-one meetings and what you might call "counseling" under my belt, i am realizing more and more just how non-formulaic it is...
i am realizing that with just about every student there is a different type or style of need to be met. with some students they are really looking for spiritual growth and help moving to a deeper relationship with God...while other students simply need help processing through challenges of life.
and then within those categories, there seem to be a plethora of sub-categories that exist...
i am realizing that i need to strive to understand more and more what these differences are and how they play out and even how i recognize them and what approaches are needed for each type. in some ways, it is a very challenging realization...but in other ways, it is a simplifying realization because i feel like it helps me to take progressive steps in being able to help these students...
