Assignments (More to Come...)
Write:
Write reflection paper.
Due September 23
Prompts are:
- How are the Jungian insights as Don Bisson related them shifting your spiritual direction practice?
- How do you maintain focus on the spiritual while attending to the psychological aspects present in your sessions?
- How have you dealt with transference/counter-transference in your practice?
Reflect/Journal/Prepare:
- Get in touch with a personal experience that has a psychological dimension such as: a significant dream, a relationship issue, emergence of a painful memory. If you were to have a direction session with a person who had a similar experience, how would you- as director- handle the session differently from the way a therapist might?
Meet:
- Mentor group meeting with Quads: This time with Quads we suggest you bring an issue from the above “Get in touch” suggestions to your quad direction session.
