101 Thought-Provoking Questions from the Everyday Therapist is a collection of questions from counselors-in-training and practitioners that encourage professionals and people who are passionate about mental health to reflect and think critically on a range of topics. Many of the questions don't fit neatly beneath the academic umbrella, and therefore, are not covered in coursework; however, they are essential and dive deep into the heart of what it means to be a helping professional and what it takes to do so. Each page of the book includes a thought-provoking prompt followed by blank space where readers can write down their thoughts and notes on each issue. The questions focus on a variety of topics within the areas of professional practice, religion and spirituality, sex and sexuality, ethics, and personal and professional identity. Designed to help readers participate in a journey of self-discovery, 101 Thought-Provoking Questions from the Everyday Therapist rips the veil of superficial discussion around mental health topics and is an enlightening and essential resource for anyone passionate about the mental health field.
