Spiritual accompaniment, a very ancient art in the Christian tradition, is often practised today by people who are looking for a place to be listened to. It has a real specificity among the many possible places for speaking and listening. This 80-page book, proposed by sœur Luisa Curreli, aims to make explicit what characterises it in the face of these other practices (spiritual conversation, confession, psychological support, etc.) and the fruit that can be expected from them. In this way, the reader will be enlightened on what can best help him/her and direct his/her search towards the most appropriate place for him/her to speak.
Indications for people who are taking their first steps in spiritual accompaniment will help them to have some pointers on how to behave, what to talk about, how to prepare for meetings, etc. The counsellor will find the main rules that make counselling a space for growth towards greater inner freedom. It will also allow those who are wondering about the opportunity to become coaches to ask themselves the right questions. Through all these practical indications, we will thus see how the framework of accompaniment is a safeguard, when it is well implemented, against...
