Counseling for Christians and the Mystery of Vocation

Posted on July 25, 2013October 21, 2022 by Dominick Flarey

Counseling for Christians: Vocation

In counseling for Christians, many spiritual children seek answers to their future and life with God. What is their vocation? Vocation-what is it to you? First understand our reason for existence—it is to know, love and serve God. That is our primary vocation. We tend sometimes to become lost in our secondary vocation–which is how our talents will serve the mystical Body of Christ. Sometimes we become so lost and concerned with it, we lose sight of our primary vocation. We become like Martha, concerned about so many things.
Instead, let us focus on our vocational call for today. To know, love and serve God. To offer to him today, our crosses, sufferings, joys, successes and daily duty. This was the secret of St. Teresa–to make our daily life a prayer, whether at work or in play.
In this companionship and partnership, Christ walks with us everyday in our vocation and will lead us to where he wishes us to be–whether religious or lay.
Ultimately our secondary vocation is our choice. Christ may wish us to be this or that, but we may go a different route in our options, but he will bless our choices and still love us unconditionally–albeit, if we choose Christ’s use of us, we ill always find greater joy.
By focusing on our primary vocation, we have a greater chance of fulfilling what is truly meant for us and our life on earth because through love of Christ, our wills shall become one.

Bereavement and Grief Over the Loss of a Spouse and Remarriage

Posted on July 24, 2013October 21, 2022 by Dominick Flarey

The article, “Forget-Me-Never: The Reality Of Remarriage After Widowhood”, by Carole Brody Fleet states

“A few months ago, a well-known actor mentioned in an interview that he still thinks about his late wife. People were shocked at this ‘stunning revelation’, as the same actor has been happily remarried for a number of years.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

How do you move on and remarry after you lose someone? Bereavement and grief over the loss of a spouse is intense but it should not effect your future happiness with another person. Never forget or demean but adapt and adjust with life.
This is hard for people to accept. They feel betrayal in happiness after the death of a loved one. While this may be a natural feeling at first, it should not be a permanent feeling. Adjustment means accepting the past, living in the present and looking forward to the future with the memory of the lost spouse never leaving one’s side but not dominating their existence.
If this involves remarriage, this is not a betrayal. Although sudden changes immediately following a loss should be avoiding. This can also refer to ‘rebounding’.
If you would like to learn how to become trained as a grief counselor, then please review the program.
The program in grief counseling involves core courses. After taking and passing these core courses in grief, the qualified professional can become certified as a grief counselor.
Re-certification is also possible after three years.
If you are a healthcare professional you should consider enhancing your career with a certification in grief counseling. If you would like to learn more on how to become trained as a grief counselor then please review the program.

Counseling for Christians: Living in Purity in an Impure World

Posted on July 24, 2013October 21, 2022 by Dominick Flarey

The article, “Living in Purity in an Impure World”, by Dena Johnson Martin states

“I’ve spent a lot of time lately contemplating sexual purity. This takes on a whole new meaning now that I’m divorced.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

Counseling for Christians after divorce should also work towards helping people adjust to post marriage life and issues of sexual purity. It is very hard to adjust to a life of purity after having a sexual life right before you at all times.

Counseling for Christians most often includes advice on how to remain pure and enhance this virtue.

If you are interested in learning more about Christian counseling or are seeking counseling for Christians, then please review our program. Our program involves taking core courses in Christian Counseling. After taking the core courses, qualified professionals are eligible for certification and begin the service of counseling for Christians.

How To Have A Stress Free Vacation

Posted on July 23, 2013October 21, 2022 by Dominick Flarey

The article, “How to Unplug for Vacation”, by meQuilibrium states

“If you say you’re off the grid for vacation, you act that way. Because as soon as you respond to one work email, you change the game — and the expectations.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

Go On A Stress Free Vacation

If you are one of the lucky few that actually get to take your vacation this year, you might know the difference between going on vacation and relaxing on vacation. Many times you might be on vacation and have plans not work out or maybe the office won’t leave you alone. Fear not, there is great advice on how to have a stress free vacation.
Another great point is to not rush back to work immediately after your vacation. Take an extra day to get home and unwind from your trip. Taking a red eye flight and getting into the office straight from the airport is a horrible way to end your vacation. Try spending a day just laying around at home. Treat it as a regularly scheduled day off. You’ll find that going back to work is not as bad.
