I believe everyone is different. Most people can recognize their own answers when they are either allowed to discover their own in a safe and creative environment, or when it is presented to them when they just have not thought of it themselves yet. I tend to gently challenge my clients to think about what they are saying aloud, and to analyze in a somewhat cognitive fashion, extrapolations of their thought patterns. That basically means that I ask them "What if...", questions. I point out discrepancies in what they say, and ask them what those discrepancies mean. I give feedback as to how I feel in response to what they say and how they act so they can know how others might react to their behaviors. I have a spiritual but non-denominational inquisitive nature myself, and I allow each client to look at the way they conceptualize existence, and try to help them find their own place in that belief system. As they become more aware and comfortable with themselves on a global level, they are more able to look at themselves in the relationships they are in with everyone else in their world.
