ABSTRACT

This chapter starts with a review on the benefits of using Heart Led Psychotherapy with clients, while also considering occasions when it may not be suitable to use. How to recognise something positive out of every challenge is then discussed. This will be followed by details of various awakening symptoms, both physical and emotional, that some clients may experience as they start to move forward on their spiritual journey. Suggestions on how clinicians/therapists can take care of themselves in all areas of their lives are provided, including their work environment. Heart Led Psychotherapy can also be used in a supervisory context and this will be covered briefly. Finally, the idea of systemic life lessons is discussed using Heart Led Psychotherapy, to reflect on the impact and lessons that can be learned from traumas beyond the clinic room that occur in society as a whole.
