Counselor educators and supervisors help students and supervisees to get in touch with emotions and thoughts that are out of their purview or that they cannot share. Counselors access this information by paying attention, comparing verbal with nonverbal behavior, and through discernment, a form of knowing obtained through concerted attending and disciplined subjectivity. Participants will learn to understand and begin to practice discernment skills relevant to every culture so that they are able to assist students and supervisees to understand and practice discernment.
