Discussion Questions

Dr. Crabb talks about our tendency to keep relationships shallow using the image of “not turning our chairs toward one another.” Why is it so difficult for us to “turn our chairs”? In other words, why are we reluctant to let anyone really know us? As you think about your answer, consider these possible reasons: Don’t have time. Don’t want to get involved. Don’t care. Feel inadequate and awkward. Don’t know how to form deeper relationships. Not culturally acceptable. Explain several possible reasons (using your own or from the list above) and then give an example from your experience that demonstrates which reason most often keeps you from turning your chair towards others.

In the days that we live in I think it’s a trust issue. It’s so hard to let your guard down even if you are talking with a professional. People tend to use what we share as something bad to use against us. Even if you feel safe around them.l have learned the hard way talking with my older sister and sharing secrets with her, thinking that I could. It came back to be me in a evil way that I had no idea she would do to me. It hurt a great deal. I want to be a Soul Care person for people because I know people can talk to me and I can totally relate to them and understand how they feel. God has made me to love, where I could have been a monster with the past I’ve had, God has saved me, from myself and from people!

We want to keep our struggle private. Want the world to believe we are o.k. Have a feeling of inadequacy.

I am a retired teacher and health professional working with people who are physically challenged . I found that if you make a relationship with your clients prior to instructiong exercise lessions , Your chances of getting them do it successfully is greater . Moreover, You need to show a genuine interest in getting them better and independent . Eventhough I worked in secular enviornements , once relatioship is built between your clients , I have oftern prayed with my clients and patiients . I am looking forward to continuing Dr. Crabb’s sould care course

I seems that the very things we are designed for – to be known, explored, discovered, and touched – are the things that require vulnerability and the risk of rejection. There’s also the issue of who can be trusted in a “turned chair” conversation. For me, this decision begins with seeking God’s presence and the safety He promises and then trusting those He ordains to come into your life for the purposes of soul care and transformation.

Sometimes, in a group, I feel I am nobody, a small potato, not a significant person, not be seen there, then I have no interest to turn my chair to others. In the other occasions, I feel unsafe in an environment. I don’t want to expose my dark side and my weaknesses. As Dr Crabb mentioned that “I don’t want to be fix”, when someone shows such intention, I will react and shut the door of my soul.
