Soul Therapy

The Art and Craft of Caring Conversations

De: Thomas Moore

Narrado por: Thomas Moore

The New York Times best-selling author of the classic The Care of the Soul addresses the needs of those providing soul care to others - therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, teachers, and even friends - sharing his insights for incorporating a spiritual or soulful dimension into their work and practices.

Soul Therapy is the culmination of Thomas Moore’s work. In his previous acclaimed books, he explored the soul in important areas of our lives - work, sex, marriage, family, religion, and aging. In this wise guide, he now returns to his core vocation: teaching practitioners - therapists, psychiatrists, ministers, spiritual directors, and others - how to offer soul care to those they assist.

A training manual infused with a lifetime’s worth of wisdom, Soul Therapy is divided into five sections:

1. What therapy or “soul care” is and how it works;
2. What soul work is required of the helper to be able to address the needs of others;
3. How to access and move forward the spiritual dimension;
4. How to apply this work to specific areas, such as work, marriage, parenting, or teaching;
5. How to deal with other issues that arise, such as developing a therapeutic style, dealing with one’s shadow, and the need for self-care.

Profound yet practical, enlightened yet grounded in real-world experience, Soul Therapy will become a definitive resource for caregivers and practitioners for years to come.

Wonderful

Another gift from Thomas to the world. Thank you so much. May you be blessed.

meaningful

easy to listen to, understand, and apply to life. I found that I was uplifted after listening and eager to pick it back up in my free moments. what stands out that I have shared, is this phrase, the symptom is the solution. I enjoyed the voice and cadence of speech.

A nourishing treat!

Soul Therapy is like a good friend. Thomas Moore’s writing is clear, accessible, and full of warmth (as is his narration), and the pages are chock full of insight and everyday wisdom. Ordinary folks (like me) are invited to live therapeutically; in other words, to live a life of genuine care and service - to live from one’s heart. It is a book for the ages; it is a rare treasure. I wholeheartedly recommend Soul Therapy and invite you to read or listen to it.

I learnt a lot about myself through this book

This book teaches how we are all capable of being a good friend, family member, lover, and colleague when we listen with empathy and compassion. It takes so little to listen to someone with empathy, I love the suggestions here and I think I could call myself a soul therapist for those around me.
