What happens if, in a counseling session, a client does a verbal-vomit on the worst things that has happened in her life and family?
Strengths-perspective teaches us to look at the presenting problem & see how we can see it as a strength & build on it. I noticed that when one is dwelling amidst their issues & problems, rarely can they see beyond that circle containing the issues. When one starts to dwell on it, the problems somehow gets bigger. [For e.g., Problem: Family is in perpetual crisis. Issue: Family has continued to exist under stress]
To change a perspective is not easy. Then I start asking myself - What would Jesus have done? What would Jesus have said? How would Jesus have viewed it? Actually, I believe that when God looks at us (or me), He sees the best part of me, amidst all my flaws/problems/issues.
