Trauma-Informed Pastoral Care: How to Respond When Things Fall Apart

Description:

About this item:

Clergy are more likely than ever to be called on to respond to community trauma, sitting alongside trauma survivors after natural disasters, racial violence, and difficult losses. In Trauma-Informed Pastoral Care: How to Respond When Things Fall Apart, pastoral psychologist Karen A. McClintock calls clergy to learn and practice "trauma-informed care" so they can respond with competence and confidence when life becomes overwhelming.

Weaving together the latest insights about trauma-informed care from the rapidly shifting disciplines of neuropsychology, counseling, and theology, she explains the body's instinctual stress patterns during and after trauma, guides readers through self-reflection and self-regulation in order to care for others and lower the risk of obtaining secondary trauma, and suggests culturally sensitive models for healing from overwhelming experiences.

McClintock particularly attends to the fact that across a lifetime in ministry, clergy accumulate and need to regularly heal multiple traumatic wounds. As a pastor and psychologist, she is perfectly positioned to help clergy recognize symptoms of trauma and commit to healing individual, community, and generational trauma with care and cultural sensitivity.

This book is essential reading for clergy. McClintock is a trusted guide for addressing trauma, shame, and grief. Her wisdom and humility invite readers to become aware of their own traumatic responses as they learn to accompany others recovering from trauma. She also brings much needed attention to natural disaster care, racial violence, and secondary trauma. I highly recommend this book to all church leaders.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected

Great research, but I was left feeling inadequate rather than ready to help others with loss. Just one person's opinion.
