By Leslie Cochrane, LPC, Founder and originator of the Wise Science - Big Heart method of Christian Counseling
You’re are not going to find this technique, Wise Science - Big Heart, in any text book I have ever read. It is a unique approach to Christian Counseling that focuses on the client's needs.
You have to have actually lived challenging life experiences, pulled out a few arrows, dodged several rocks hurled from a sling, felt some real heartbreak and grief, and experienced true love before you can say with authority that you have a Big Heart. Six years of college, 3,000 hours of training, so many text books and journal articles that you can’t count them, hours and hours helping clients, and a lifetime of seeing what really works allow you to claim to have Wise Science. I feel that God has allowed me to have challenging life experiences and education for me to be a helper to others who need some help in navigating their life experiences.
A licensed counselor does not get rid of your problem with a magic wand, so why come to therapy? As your counselor I am going to help you make that problem a little smaller everyday till you no longer experience the ill effects of it. To accomplish progress I will use a variety of science proven methods selected for you. That is the dry part of the recipe and is the very clinical Wise Science.
Big Heart is the secret sauce of the relationship. Knowing when to comfort you, developing a safe space for you, building your self worth, and knowing when the time is right to challenge you. You grow self-esteem by facing your fears, and you feel validated while learning to make positive change that brings joy back into your life.
