Synopsis

This book should be on the bookshelves of every counselor, therapist, and social worker. This is healing for the healer: therapy that turns its sights from the patient on the proverbial couch to the caregiver who runs the daily practice, examining the stress that comes with helping others. Melissa Danielson gives an insider's view of the day-to-day challenges of a counseling practitioner. She explains how to manage time; set healthy work boundaries; manage stress, crisis, nutrition, and rest; and combat fatigue. Her techniques include visualization, art, aromatherapy, cleansing rituals, progressive relaxation, meditation, and more. In an effort to equip practitioners with the tools that they need for their own well-being, she provides creative, effective and fun techniques for in-office and at-home management of this challenging profession.
