The Counselor’s Attitude

The Counselor’s Attitude is the first foundational viewpoint in which each peer-counselor is trained. This way of being is what makes peer-counseling, as taught in the Inner Wisdom Peer Counseling course, effective. It is comprised of the following:

  • Delighted attention (smiling)
  • Loving Eye contact (without staring)
  • Exquisite listening (lean forward with interest)
  • Viewing the counselee as whole, wise, intelligent, utterly capable, and divine, if so inclined
