| Posted 9/24/2001 6:03 PM (GMT -6) | | Theophistic counselling is an approach where a counselor has a client invite Jesus into a memory or situation to see what he will do. It seems to work very well for a) certain kinds of issues, with b) highly visual people and c) people who don't have damaged views of Jesus.
TNT is similar in some respects, but
a) TNT makes more use of our knowledge of how the mind works
b) is much less "free for all" -- it is structured.
c) is better for people whose matrix (web of beliefs) affects their basic view of Jesus or God.
It really isn't a matter of "which works best" in general. It's a matter of what works best for YOU in YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. And there's nothing wrong with using both. IN FACT, TNT incorporates Theophostic (though, in keeping with the church tradition, we call it Cataphatic prayer).
Blessings
