Book Overview
For counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, certified life coaches, and other mental health professionals, case managers, and caregivers burnout may seem inevitable, but it doesn't have to be. Dr. LaRonda Starling offers respite for the weary with this Christ-centered, faith-focused guide to self-care for the soul. With real-life analogies and Bible verses as the basis, Be Still: Spiritual Self-Care for Mental Health Professionals covers topics such as knowing the characteristics of God, having alone time to pray, reflecting on the good in life, studying the Bible, learning to lovingly say no, and taking care of oneself. The end of each chapter includes questions designed to help the reader dig deeper and apply the concepts to their own life.
Whether you are a therapist experiencing exhaustion or burnout (or wanting to avoid it), a therapist in training, or a caregiver of any kind, Be Still is the essential guide to finding and maintaining spiritual health and peace.
