The word ‘crisis’ comes from the Greek word for ‘decision’ or ‘to choose’. When we are in the midst of a crisis, we are facing decisions that have very real and significant consequences.  We can question our strength, resiliency, and self-worth, buckling under immense psychological and emotional pressure.  Crisis counseling stabilizes our minds and emotions by drawing us back into the present moment and learning how to accept the reality of the situation. Sometimes this means adapting a ‘radical’ acceptance which becomes an initiation into intimate layers of wisdom.
