Experiential Therapy provides hands-on, engaged, holistic experiences aimed at exploring, better understanding, and resolving clinical issues. The methodology includes guided activities, games, mental puzzles, time in nature, and physical challenges. The resulting experience gives rise to words, thoughts, feelings, and future actions that a client might not have found through traditional talk therapy alone.

Understanding and Effectively Utilizing Experiential Therapy gives practical advice and skills to enable new or seasoned clinicians to create their own Experiential Therapy practice. Through didactic presentation of basic concepts, concrete description of techniques, and numerous illustrative clinical examples, the book guides readers to become proficient clinicians in Experiential Therapy. The book emphasizes knowledge and skills for supporting diverse clients across a variety of identities to successfully engage in these non-traditional clinical modalities to increase well-being and resilience and promote recovery and growth after trauma.
