i'm not really sure what i'd call what we do. i guess it's just a friend helping another friend that has gone thru some similar things. i do have a tendency to be an amateur therapist with friends. i don't try to; it just happens. most of our conversation has been helpful to him i believe but with this one subject we don't seem to get anywhere and i know he's frustrated. i've suggested we try something different but i think he's hesitant because of wanting to maintain proper boundaries. (that sounds sketchy so i'd better explain! i just want to pray over the phone. that's all, really. )
