A spiritual helping framework for our clients and ourselves : beyond spiritual neutrality -- Sitting with clients on uncertain ground : strong back, soft front : beyond evidence-based practice -- Radical acceptance of clients, context, and self : beyond Carl Rogers' positive regard -- Mindfulness : steadying the mind and being present : beyond empathy skills and counter-transference -- Curiosity, compassionate caring, and inspiration : beyond professional warmth -- Bearing witness to trauma and pain : beyond clinical distance -- The middle way : embracing contradiction and paradox : beyond dualistic thinking -- Having the conversation : making space for client spirituality : beyond the great taboo -- Dealing with failure : beyond cognitive solutions and the paradigm of blame -- Swimming upstream with a warrior's heart : beyond working a human services job
