I once took a course on Pastoral Visitation at a hospital. I learned that people coming into a hospital have two
major concerns:
- They don't have control over the process – they have to give it up to the Dr.'s and Nurses, to the hospital
environment.
- They are bored silly because there's nothing to do. While I couldn't give them control, studies had shown that
healing was greatly facilitated if the person simply knew what to expect – so, that was one thing I tried to help
them with – explain a little of the procedures they were going through.
In that spirit, I hope to allay any concerns you many have (even though you're not in a hospital) – The process I hope to engage here this weekend is to:
- explain the background behind Carefrontation
- explain the process
- have all of us experiment with it through role-playing.
