In this book  Shari M. Geller and Leslie S. Greenberg argue that therapeutic presence is the fundamental underlying quality of the therapeutic relationship and  hence  effective therapy. Therapeutic presence is the state of having ones whole self in the encounter with a client by being completely in the moment on a multiplicity of levelsphysically  emotionally  cognitively  and spiritually.  Geller and Greenberg present their empirically based model of therapeutic presence that integrates three aspects of the concept: how present therapists prepare for presence both pre-session and in general life  what activities therapists engage in when being therapeutically present  and what in-session presence feels like.  The authors also provide a therapeutic presence theory of relationship based on research and clinical wisdom. Importantly  because presence is a learnable state that can be cultivated with practice and commitment  the authors infuse the book with practical  experiential exercises for cultivating presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44954826178613,"sku":"ByrdShop_1433810603","price":75.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781433810602.jpg?v=1770285683","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/therapeutic-presence-a-mindful-approach-to-effective-therapy","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
