James,
Thank you for the visit and the email. I'm out of town until Tuesday and I will touch base with Alice when I return about a time when we can all three chat. Until then, I'm grateful for your patience as we try to coordinate schedules. Be well.
Blessings,

The theoretical orientation...
that you use as a foundation for conceptualization
will usually be the one with which you are most comfortable and the one
you apply to people generally;
in contrast...
your conceptualization of one
client versus another will not be the same.
Clients’ unique presentations will...
relate to different aspects of your theoretical orientation.
They may even..
challenge you to shift out of your usual preferred theoretical orientation
because a particular presenting problem is best conceptualized or treated
from a different understanding.
For example...
a therapist who describes himself
as psychodynamic may conceptualize a client with a flying phobia through a
cognitive-behavioral approach, integrating his knowledge about the research
on effective treatments for phobias.
Your theoretical orientation does not...
determine how you think in every instance, or determine that you are not
capable of thinking otherwise.
Theoretical orientation as filtered through...
our own being and experience, provides guidelines for testing out our
hypotheses about who our clients are, how and why they came to therapy,
with what motivation and unique styles, and how best we can help them to
solve their problems and live more satisfying lives.
Case conceptualization is...
therefore, applied theoretical orientation tailored
to the specific client and the client’s contexts, aimed at understanding
the issues that bring the client to therapy and indicating the most effective
interventions.
What we learn...
from the client about his or her history, presenting
problems, and perceived strengths is filtered through our theoretical orientation,
our understanding of human behavior, development, and change.
Conceptualization is...
your story about this particular client.
Thus, an additional
task for novice therapists is to integrate this personal client centered “conceptualization”
with formal/theoretical conceptualization, tailoring to the particularities
of clients.

Dear Rev. Josh,
I haven't heard anything from your office about a meeting between, you, me, and Rev. Dr. Alice. It was my impression when I left that this meeting was going to happen. Originally I was only wanting an hour minimum with Alice to discuss a concern of mine as it would relate to counseling for my crystal meths addiction from a place such as Pastoral Care Of Georgia.
After running into BJ and observing her behavior when only coming by to drop off two hula hoops I thought would make a clever invitation, reminders, as well as props that could be used during our conversations about set theories and how it relates to ecumenisn; I'm not so sure now.
I've since realized that you had interrupted my conversation with Sara your communications director; and maybe wrong in assuming you heard the first part about just an hour minimum with Alice and the topic I wanted to get out of the way first. May not even take an hour.
Well, I've given you enough, from my perspective at least anyway, how I justify me seeking these answers at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church as my mother is still a member with the First United Church of Prescott, Arkansas (this has been corrected after email sent); as well as older than Bob and Janet Gary. Maybe even still driving her car. Haven't asked. We are no longer talking at my insistence.
Please let me know that you have received this email at least, as your church is not the only one I've consulted with. They all seem to be having problems with receiving their emails, so some of them have claimed when showing up with a hard copy in person. I'm just assuming Alice is having problems with her emails as well.
Sincerely,
