Equips Christian counselors and therapists to confidently use mindfulness techniques with their clients in a way that is both practical and biblical.
Accessing mindfulness is a therapeutic touchstone for a range of emotional issues, from mild distress to the treatment of trauma, but the term mindfulness has often left Christians wary. Stripped of Christlike spirituality, it sounds self-focused at best, and at worst like a fusion with modern pop-religions of the day.
But the quality of mindfulness—of being fully present, aware of ourselves and our situation so that we can better respond to the chaos around us—is a profoundly biblical concept. And it can be used effectively by Christian counselors and healing practitioners.
In A Counselor’s Guide to Christian Mindfulness, Regina Chow Trammel (a clinical social worker) and John Trent (a marriage and family therapist) team up to offer training in mindfulness skills used in evidence-based practices, such as dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. These therapies have been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of many mental health issues, blending elements of neuroscience, social science, and religious training.
This book is the ideal resource to equip those in the helping professions to faithfully use mindfulness interventions both professionally and personally and includes:
A historical and theoretical overview of Christian mindfulness and how it contrasts with other mindfulness-based practices.A practical guide for how to use mindfulness skills in counseling and therapeutic practice.A section addressing specific challenges or situations that your clients face.Dialogue scripts and contemplation exercises to adapt for your own work.
The practice of Christian mindfulness can be effective in helping clients manage their intrusive and stressful thoughts, emotions, relationships, and challenges. This book fills a gap for Christian counselors and therapists who are eager for a resource that teaches mindfulness skills from a Christian and biblical perspective.

This resource is a great tool for those in helping or service roles. I find it especially helpful for those that want to ensure the mindfulness practices they use, align with Christian principles.

Practical Christian Mindfulness
I am a Christian therapist who was gifted this book from a colleague. And what a gift it is! Christian mindfulness offers the integration of faith with therapeutic and counseling skills that is rarely talked about in our field. I started my career skeptical of any therapy that had the word “mindfulness” associated with it (I was afraid it had something to do with mysticism). But this book explains how mindfulness practice is rooted in ancient Christian practice.I really appreciated how practical this book is, featuring case studies and a fresh new look at the application of scripture in therapeutic practice. I particularly liked the methodical look at the Lords Prayer. This book is a gift!

Great for a layperson
I bought this book as a gift for someone struggling with mental health and negative thoughts. I read it first and while written for counselors it is very easy to understand and gives practical advice. The person who received the book has already enjoyed reading and applying the information. Highly recommend.
