Confronting Sin
Response to Question 1
It is important for the sensitive Christian counselor to consider that automatic and quick confrontation can never be useful when it comes to confronting obvious sin. This is not a viable option because it can increase the risk of defensive and denial approaches for the client ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"bT96ikIL","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Clinton & Hawkins, 2009)","plainCitation":"(Clinton & Hawkins, 2009)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":230,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/qLzeF6Hj/items/IUIDBX8W"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/qLzeF6Hj/items/IUIDBX8W"],"itemData":{"id":230,"type":"book","title":"The Quick-Reference Guide to Biblical Counseling","publisher":"Baker Publishing Group","URL":"https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=v4DkRgaGaUcC","ISBN":"978-0-8010-7225-3","author":[{"family":"Clinton","given":"T."},{"family":"Hawkins","given":"R."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2009"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Clinton & Hawkins, 2009). The counselor might face the problems of immense resilience and anger from the client. Direct confrontation is one complex phenomenon that requires considering a diverse dynamic of counseling. It is not vital for the sensitive Christian counselor to ignore the sensitivity of the condition and compel client towards the aggression.
Response to Question 2
A comprehensive understanding of the entire perspective of sensitive Christian counseling explicitly revealed that ethical aspects are mainly overlooked by the counselors.
