Spiritual directors discern at many times in a direction session whether:
(1) to speak to invite the other to share more or differently, or
(2) to remain silent to allow the person to share at their own pace or to have time to reflect quietly.
Often, the voice encouraging us to speak ("Be clever! Be clever!") is our voice. And the voice encouraging us to be silent ("Shut up! Shut up!) is God.

i know that spiritual direction isn't journalism, but i can't get over the parallels between how interviews and sd sessions are conducted. i can't believe you have three days left. out of control.
