So far in the course, we’ve covered aspects of crisis, trauma, loss, grief, disasters, and family issues. In the role of caregiver, in what areas have you had experience? In what areas do you lack experience? In what areas are you proficient? In what areas do you need/desire proficiency? In what areas are you gifted? As a pastoral counselor or a potential pastoral counselor, what steps might you take to become proficient in certain areas? Be specific. Formulate your response as if this is an actual plan to which you plan to commit. In your post, support your assertions. Incorporate and synthesize course materials. Exercise your critical-thinking skills!
