In Our Lives First: Meditations for Counselors

In Our Lives First: Meditations for Counselors

In Our Lives First: Meditations for Counselors is a collection of six weekâ€™s worth of readings about the work of counseling and its impact on the counselorâ€™s life and soul. Based on her 40 years of counseling experience, the author shows how the true work of counselors is tending first to their own souls in relationship to Jesus Christ, since they cannot lead clients where they themselves have not gone first. Change, growth, and spiritual health must be a reality in their lives first, in order to effectively facilitate change, growth, and health in others. Dr. Langbergâ€™s essays are interspersed with quotes from her favorite authors, most of them Puritan pastors and theologians, for 40 daysâ€™ worth of readings.

Dr. Langberg is a practicing psychologist whose clinical expertise includes 40 years of working with trauma survivors and clergy.
