Abstract

Working conditions, client demands, heavy workloads, and numerous other factors cause high levels of stress among social workers and undermine their potential for self-fulfilment and productivity. Bio-Spiritual – Music-Focus - Energetics (BSMFE) is a focusing technique used in this study for social workers and addiction counsellors as a part of staff training and development and re-certification. This article speaks to the need for creative and uniquely supportive approaches for helping professionals. It presents an account of addictions counsellor training and education (N=7) in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. During a day long workshop, social workers and counsellors participated to heighten their awareness of their own inner-directed processes. Implications are directed toward social workers, addiction counsellors, music therapists, helping professionals, clergy, and pastoral counsellors, in their own spiritual quest toward personal fulfilment and professional growth and transformation.
