According to his website, his "major area of expertise is the prevention of secondary stress which encompasses the pressures encountered in reaching out to others.  He integrates sound psychology and basic spiritual truths to set the stage for profound personal transformation.  He has cultivated this experience through research and clinical practice with psychotherapists, physicians, nurses, educators, relief workers, lawyers, corporate executives and persons in full-time ministry." People say "Well, I can't seem to sense God." Well, you're too busy in your head thinking. If you look at the energy in a city and experience it; if you're in a quiet place in the forest and you hear the birds that you've never heard, you're hearing the voice of God. The problem is, you're not listening — you're hearing, but you're not listening. — Robert J. Wicks Dr. Wicks joined the Encountering Silence team on Skype to share his thoughts on the sacred place where spirituality and mental health meet — and the vital place for silence in that nexus.
