The first and most important thing you need to be a very effective therapist or counselor is an absolute passion, determination, and thrill for successfully helping people to solve what they need to solve to feel and be the way they want to feel and be.
It could be called empathy, it is a recognition of and feeling what that person feels, and having along with them the driving need and desire to get over and recover from what is hurting them.
And along with that, having, finding and/or developing the complete absence of any fear or projection that you won’t or can’t absolutely succeed, in general, and particularly while engaging with your client. A very satisfying and enjoyable absolute and unshakeable certainty.
After and along with that comes an easy and natural recognition of what your client is manifesting, and having, finding and learning or developing the techniques to guide them through the steps to resolve whatever that may be, and through the enlightenment that comes and grows with having these qualities and doing this work, having and increasingly developing the intuition to simply know what to do and say in the moment.
For anyone feeling that passion who is moved to engage in doing this work, I can help you to find and develop the rest.
Best, Dex
