A Note from the Author: "During a time when people are (hopefully)
recovering from the chaos, uncertainty, confusion, trauma, and
disruption from the pandemic, and accompanying deprivations and new
challenges, it has never been more important for helping
professionals, including counselors, therapists, nurses,
physicians, clergy, and teachers, to take care of themselves so
they can better serve others. We are models for our clients and
patients, demonstrating in our own lives the critical importance of
self-compassion and self-care, not just through our talk but by our
actions." - Jeffrey A. Kottler Practicing What You Preach:
Self-Care for Helping Professionals assists readers in recovering
from the strains and demands of working within the helping
professions, not through reminders to take a break or a deep
breath, but through the recognition that self-care requires a
constant commitment to addressing larger and more complex issues
that can lead to exhaustion, depression, and burnout. The book
reviews the nature and manifestations of acute and chronic
compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and related issues, examining
the origins of these difficulties. It explains why traditional,
short-term ideas of self-care usually don't work very well, for
very long, and why it's so challenging to begin and maintain
healthy habits. The text helps readers recognize and confront
complex issues- dysfunctional organizational climates, neglectful
or abusive supervisors, overloaded schedules, unresolved personal
issues, interpersonal conflicts, and unhealthy lifestyles-and then
move toward productive, healthy, long-term resolutions. Written
with empathy and deep understanding, Practicing What You Preach is
well suited for courses in social work, counseling, family therapy,
psychology, human services, health professions, and other related
fields, as well as a guide for practitioners.
