Overview

The Passionate Therapist: A Path for Continuing to Love What You Do, is written to professional mental health therapists. That's a title that covers any number of academic degrees, licensures, and professional designations. All therapists work with hurting people, and being drawn to this work, begin with Passion. That being said, passion is not a static commodity and there are no guarantees that it will always be an active part of a therapist's professional life. To be present, passion must be maintained, cultivated, developed, protected. Holding onto passion only comes via a process. And discovering the path and process which keeps therapists passionate about their work is what is shared in this book. With five decades of professional work as relationship therapist, clinical director, supervisor, graduate professor, national speaker, and author of 10 books, Dr. Donald Harvey has personally traveled the developmental path of a therapist and observed the countless journeys of many others. Now, through the lens of mentor, he shares with rising and seasoned therapists alike, the five critical truths that differentiate the therapists who thrive in their work from those who merely survive. ""The five critical truths cannot be approached in the same manner as you might choose to move along a cafeteria line - selecting one item only to overlook another. No, each truth must be addressed if passion is to be maintained. And at times, these truths can also appear simple. Many truths in life are. But simple can never be equated with easy. What I share in this book is how to navigate each of the challenges that accompany these truths - for there truly is a path to follow if your passion is to be maintained.""
