Andrew Ray hosts a special edition of Help and Hope with Dr. Tim Lane, Alasdair Groves and Aaron Sironi to discuss sexual misconduct in counseling, specifically related to counseling in a Christian context. How does it happen? How can a pastor or a counselor take steps to avoid such a temptation? How should you as a counselor respond when a counselee admits he or she is attracted to you? Lane, Groves, and Sironi take the time in this episode to answer these questions and more.
