Reducing Anxiety of Persons Practicing Pastoral Care

The journey to uncover the inner anxiety issues relating to the development of an unhealthy personal identity was resolved through this research project. The pastoral care ministry began to flow more effectively when the anxiety from my personal identity was resolved. My journey of discovery can be seen throughout the following six chapters. This research project is aimed to provide clergy and laypersons a tool of training to use in reducing anxiety in practicing pastoral care. This research is a result of over thirty years of interpathic training, having discussions with experts in pastoral care, including detailed feedback and discussions with clergy, laypersons, and professionals.
