Synopsis "Heal the Healer: A Self-Care Guide for Wellness Workers and Caregivers"
If you're like most healers or caregivers, you're probably highly empathic and energetically attuned--but don't always give yourself the same level of care you provide to others. Instead, you go through your days striving to meet the needs of everyone around you. If you struggle with setting boundaries, compassion fatigue, or simply asking for support, Heal the Healer is just the resource you need. Visionary healthcare pioneer and founder of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition Joshua Rosenthal has written a compassionate survival guide for givers--the therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, and alternative medicine practitioners filling an ever-widening care gap left by our institutionalized healthcare system--who are chronically stressed, exhausted, and undervalued. Rosenthal calls upon his thirty years in the wellness industry to offer practical advice and actionable exercises that help caregivers, healers, and helpers find more balance in their lives, heal old wounds, decrease stress, and actualize a more joyful future. This book will show you how to: - Set boundaries that protect your well-being - Decrease symptoms of burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma - Rewrite your story and overcome childhood wounds - Protect your energy and foster a stronger work-life balance - Seek out and take part in a community of peers - Experience more joy Heal the Healer is an approachable and practical guide for stressed-out caregivers who are ready to set healthy boundaries, heal old wounds, and live a fuller, more joyful life.
