One of the greatest gifts helping professionals can share with
others is a sense of their own peace. However, retaining and
renewing a sense of a healthy perspective requires not only
self-care strategies, but also an awareness of basic profound, yet
simple, wisdom themes.
The Inner Life of the Counselor presents classic and
contemporary wisdom that examines and explores each of these themes
in a way that both professional and non-professional helpers will
find revealing and meaningful in understanding their own
journey.
Informed by the author's over thirty years of experience as a
therapist, mentor, and clinical supervisor of professional
helpers?as well as by his expertise in resiliency and prevention of
secondary stress?The Inner Life of the Counselor
thoughtfully looks at those elements that encourage sustained
personal growth and professional development, such as self-care,
stress management, and mindfulness.
Lively, practical, and marked by an elegant sense of simplicity,
this nurturing book demonstrates how exploring the inner life can
lead counselors to new wisdom and inner peace?not only for
themselves but also for those who come to them for relief and
insight. It is an invitation to pause, reflect, renew, and navigate
one of contemporary society's most challenging yet rewarding
professions.
