Heart Issues

Welcome everyone, to Heritage Counseling Center’s Blog! I hope it finds you well. Farah Harris is the author of this week’s article. Farah understands that most people don’t act out of random impulses, but each and every action has some sort of reason behind it. She asks that you would join her in taking a deeper look at these behaviors. Here is what she has to say:

We often complain about another person’s behavior. As a counselor, I listen to parents grumble about their children, couples finding fault in one another, and individuals criticizing their friends or co-workers. After listening to their disapprovals, disdain and disappointments, my question to them always is “And what is the heart issue?”

Loving Out of Fear


Welcome everyone, to this week's post featuring Farah Harris!  Farah does a great job explaining how and why, the desired outcome to our actions often have opposite effects.  It's a thought provoking article that will show you some ways in which you can look into yourself and start "loving" in healthy manner.  For those of you who were able to attend our seminar, Farah has really able to build from one of Scott's analogies.  Here's what she has to say:

How do you love?  Is it out of fear?  This is probably a question many of you have never asked yourselves.  Let me preface by saying that I am using Biblical definition of love.  In the Bible, love is not a feeling, it is an action verb.  That stated, when one receives love, it is known by the experience of another person’s actions.  We love because he [God] first loved us. 1 John 4:19.
