previously overlooked. I found that the more I found out about psychotherapy the more I began to understand that different clients need different forms of help.

At the beginning of this class I was very skeptical about the idea of counseling and therapy due to media influence, person experience, and other outside sources. The first week of class an assignment was handed out. The assignment was to take…

Integration Merging personal centered therapy and the concept of being Christ like would be what Jesus would do in response to healing mankind.
