Identifying Needs

While listening to people, as you learned earlier,
is an important first step in helping them; but it
must not stop there. You need to strive also to
identify, both with them, and with their needs.

 

To IDENTIFY: means to understand and share
someone's feelings

 

What do you think identifying with someone's
feelings means in practical ways?

Jesus is an example to us in these things

Seeing then that we have a great high priest,
that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched
with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted
like as we are,
yet without sin.

Hebrews 4: 14, 15

 

Do you think it is important to put forth efforts to
identify with the people you desire to help? Why?

If you want to help others you will need to be sensitive toward their
thoughts and feelings and try to relate to what they are saying (without
necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with what is being spoken). The first
step is to listen to what is being said, and then to try to communicate by
word and action: "I understand."



Think of some real-life examples in which identifying
with someone could be very helpful.

Discuss these thoughts with someone you know.

 

The materials you have been studying up to this point can assist the
process that leads to good communications, but there is still more to
be discovered.

Next we will be discussing how gathering facts and information can
help further in problem solving.
