A Well That Keeps Flowing: The Power of Co-Counseling - Softcover

Embrace the natural energy underlying humanity's goodness with a detailed exploration of the dynamic self-help practice known as "Co-Counseling."

Drawing from his thirty years of experience as a cocounselor, author Fred Wallace begins by sharing his personal journey of growth and healing before turning to the core beliefs, principles, and practices of this time-tested self-improvement technique. At the heart of the process are the roles of self-counselor and cocounselor, through which practitioners find the power and safety to bring understanding and positive change to their lives.

Emphasizing the importance of sharing circles, self-expression, and self-acceptance, Wallace shares the fundamental doctrines of Co-Counseling, including that we are all peers in our humanity. He then presents three fictional cocounseling sessions, providing readers with a taste of the power and creativity this unique procedure has to offer.

Whether you are already involved in the warm, accepting culture of Co-Counseling or you are learning about this life-altering modality for the first time, A Well That Keeps Flowing offers insights that will open the door for you to create a fuller, more satisfying, joyful life.
