Co-counselling is a process through which people in pairs take
turns listening to each other's distress, helping them release
trapped emotional energy, so that they become freer to see clearly
how to deal with their lives and recover their natural joy and
resilience. Re-evaluation Co-counselling,
started by Harvey Jackins in the 1950s, uses this technique in
extensive grassroots communities of co-counsellors to deal particularly
with how injustice has degraded the humanity of both oppressed
and privileged people.
