At long last, my book, “Spiritual Trauma: A Guide for Healing Your Heart From Church Hurts” has arrived. The ebook version should be ready soon and the audiobook available shortly afterward.
Those in the United States can purchase the book by clicking this link.
Canadians can find the book here. Those in the UK can find it here.
Please also consider purchasing the Companion Workbook, which is available now.
The material in the book is not merely meant to be consumed, but to practiced, and the workbook will help you to process spiritual trauma in a productive way. Here are the US, Canadian, and UK links.
You should know that I also provide the following services:
Counselling. I have worked in the counselling field for about 15 years. I offer private counselling, both in person and online. However, my specialty is working with other helping professionals (counsellors, first responders, church ministers) who feel burned out or even injured by their work. Vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout were all a major part of my doctoral work. You can find out more about how to access my counselling services here.
Online Courses. I have a ministry stress and burnout recovery course in the works with more on the way. This course is comprehensive, offering a cost effective solution to address toxic stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue in your professional life. Keep an eye on this page or sign up for the newsletter on the right for updates.
Consulting and Training. If you are a church leader or board looking for a way to mitigate burnout, occupational stress, and turnover in your ministry staff, or you are simply looking for some new strategies to help the people in your congregation to heal, feel free to call me at (604) 315-7782 or sean_st_jean (at) yahoo (dot) com.
All The Best,
Dr. Sean St. Jean, MSW, RSW
