The Art of Being a Healing Presence: A Guide for Those in Caring Relationships by Susan Cutshall, James E. Miller

inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

A book about how to be a therapeutic and healing presence. I found it helpful to reflect on myself and my limitations, not only as a friend, but also as a practicing social worker. While I can want all the pain to go away in a person, I don't have that capability. This book offers both a good reminder of that, as well as affirmations that the subtle things can be huge for another person. There were quite a few references to God and prayer, which was not distracting, but it was noticeable. A lot of good information, but it did eventually become a little repetitive.
