    About this audiobook

    Research suggests that the presence of the therapist, and how the therapist truly forges a connection with the client in therapy, are the most crucial factors affecting the client’s healing process. An engaged, committed, caring therapist who is mindful of his or her own self—and how that self relates to the client—is the key determinant of how well that client will respond to therapy.

    The Mindful Therapist is a deep exploration of what it means to be mindful and how to cultivate mindfulness in the therapeutic relationship. Building on Siegel’s influential work, The Mindful Brain, this audiobook is written in a unique, relational style in which the author speaks directly to the reader as a fellow professional—an informal yet in-depth conceptual discussion about the mind, brain, and human relations.

    Because creating positive outcomes in psychotherapy hinges on the presence of the clinician as a person, here Siegel explores the underlying science beneath this assertion and offers experiential strategies to cultivate mindful presence in the therapist’s own life. Exercises offered throughout the book promote the development of “mindsight”—our ability to sense and shape the flow of energy and information within and between each of us. Mindsight promotes integration, a mindful presence, and the nurturing of empathic relationships—all of which are key to effective therapy.

    The Mindful Therapist helps clinicians, both new and experienced in the healing arts, to dive deeply into how the mind interacts with the brain, and how disorder and rigidity can be transformed into integration and harmony.

      Yet another excellent book by Dr. Daniel J. Siegel! I highly recommend this book!Having devoured Dr. Siegel's previous books for their rigorous neuroscientific explorations on the mechanisms and benefits of mindfulness,mindsight, and their relationship to interpersonal neurobiology, I eagerly anticipated a more "instructional" book on how-to-practice from Dr. Siegel. This book provides more of that instruction than any of Dan Siegel's excellent previous books. While the focus is on the cultivation of mindfulness and mindsight between therapist and client (and much more), the practice of mindfulness by anyone is the same, hence ANYONE can and will benefit from this book.Expect to learn a lot from this book, but keep in mind is is a (GOOD) challenge to read - the concepts are abstract and complex, but extremely useful and well-presented. Your brain WILL grow new synapses as you read it!Buy it, read it and apply it!

      Good but uneven. Mindsight was a better introduction to his thought.
