Living Better with Spirituality Based Strategies that Work: Workbook for Spiritually Informed Therapy - Paperback

This is Living Better with Spirituality Based Strategies that Work, the exercise workbook rather than the textbook it accompanies.

Thomas Plante takes Jesuit spiritual practice and turns it into things a person does on a Tuesday: exercises, prompts and decisions, with case studies showing where each one landed for someone else.

What's inside

Finding the sacred in ordinary things, discernment as a way of deciding, an end-of-day reflection in five steps, and handling conflict through accommodation and humility rather than winning.

Who it's for

Therapists working through it with clients, faculty using it with students, and readers who picked it up alone.

Good to know

It pairs with Plante's Spiritually Informed Therapy, and it also stands on its own if you never read that one.

From the publisher

Living Better with Spirituality Based Strategies that Work: Workbook for Spiritually Informed Therapy is designed to serve as a practical workbook or companion book to Spiritually Informed Therapy that can be used by therapists with their clients, faculty with their students, or with the general public to put key evidence-based principles into actual practice.

The workbook features numerous exercises and practical strategies that can help readers examine and implement core tenets from Jesuit spirituality into their everyday and contemporary life.

The core tenets from Jesuit spirituality introduced throughout the book include seeing God (or the sacred) in all things, treating the whole person, using a pathway for decision-making focusing on discernment, ending the day with a five-step reflection, managing conflicts with accommodation, humility, the expectation for goodness, and more. The text features real-world case studies that demonstrate how Jesuit spirituality has helped individuals work through their challenges and discover greater overall wellness.

Living Better with Spirituality Based Strategies that Work is an innovative workbook that can be paired with Thomas G. Plante's textbook, Spiritually Informed Therapy, or can be used independently by individuals interested in learning how faith-based principles can enrich their life and experiences.
