CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I would suspect that you'd take many of the same courses that a regular counsellor would take - psychology and that sort of thing. You should probably sit down and talk with a high school guidance counsellor to find out for sure.

I'm a Psych major and plan on doing counseling. You need to find out what the basic classes are that you need and take those first (Math, science, history, english...etc) After that you need to find out what the core Psych classes are that you need. For me it's classes like General Psych, Lifespan Psych, Psych of Personality, Study of the family, Research Methods....etc. Some college have counseling courses but most major Universities only offer Psych classes. If you want to do Christian counseling you might want to consider a Christian University, otherwise you will find yourself very frustrated with the worldly teaching in the secular Psych classes, many are very liberal and off the wall IMO.

yeh depends what area you want to go to, im currently studying pastoral counselling at hillsong but you would probably have to do another course to be qualified as a counselor outside the church in the US.

I'm a psych major too, and I want to be a christian counselor also. You'll probably just have to get your psych degree, and then get your masters, and where you get your masters you'll have to take more counseling classes.
