It does not take a boatload of fancy degrees and skills to help someone. It takes empathy and a few key skills!

If want to prepare someone to be a Non-Therapist, then this book is for you! The Guide to The Non-Therapist offers ideas for those who have therapeutic listening skills under their belt, but may not have a full suite of adult education techniques in their toolbox. Learning objectives, lesson plans, ideas for assessment, and cautions to keep in mind will get you started quickly, whether you are a college instructor with a full classroom of learners, someone coaching 1:1 in a private office, or anywhere in between.
