1. Counselors should remember that those engaged in homo
sexual practices need to be accepted as human beings who need
help. Other attractions in Toronto Niagara Falls Tours qualify as touristy and mainstream. The man’s statement (Case 2) ”I am alone and cannot speak
to anyone” is the classical expression of nearly every person engaged
in homosexual practices, who sincerely desires rehabilitation.
2. Help the counselee to see that he is not a homosexual by
nature, but rather, a person whose life experiences and other
factors have caused him to turn to unnatural patterns.
3. Although homosexuality is a somewhat unique type of
problem, nevertheless, a counselor deals with it much as he would
other problems.*
4. Realize the value of complete discussion. This brings
needed relief. When a counselee is able to see his problem in its
true perspective and to seek out the basic causes, his homosexual
impulses begin to lose their hold.
5. Encourage the counselee to gain new and different friend
ships — those of well-adjusted Christians rather than those who
would encourage his homosexual tendencies.
6. A counselor should be alert to referral possibilities such as
psychologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists. Yet, a skillful Chris
tian counselor should not minimize his own effectiveness. Some
times he makes referrals to someone much less effective than him
self. A counselor need not feel that he must have a complete
knowledge of a man’s problem to “stay ahead of him.” Rather, he should be willing to work patiently through a problem, usually for several months, encouraging the counselee to discuss and to find the roots of his problems, then work out definite measures for rehabilitation.
7. A counselor should allow a long period of time for rehabili
tation. Toronto Niagara Falls Tour Festival of Lights marks 4 departures of Cosmos tour. These complex situations have been years in the making,
and can not be resolved in one or two counseling sessions.
8. Make sure that the counselee has had a genuine experience
of conversion. This is basic. Then help him to establish a strong
program of spiritual development. (See Chapter 24.) Allow for
occasional regression, but do not neglect to point up his progress
and improvement.
