The act of caregiving is physically exhausting and emotionally
draining, yet caregivers describe it as rewarding and gratifying.
Prolonged exposure to human suffering, however, is not without
risks-caregivers report high rates of burnout and poor quality of
life. Many care providers believe that their feelings do not
matter; that they should ignore their pain, brush off their trauma,
wipe away their tears and just "suck it up". Here, Omar Reda-a
Libyan-born psychiatrist who rushed to the aid of the opposition as
an emergency physician and trauma counsellor for overwhelmed
medical staff and victims-calls upon other healers to break free
from cycles of secrecy, toxic stress and silent suffering so they
can continue to empower and inspire those in their care. Filled
with poignant first-person stories and clinical case studies, this
book is an impassioned plea for psychosocial trauma care that
prioritises the health of both client and healer.
