SynopsisSelf-care shouldn't feel like a burden. Professional self-care can be enjoyable, personally meaningful, and sustainably integrated into mental health practitioners' lives. The Thriving Therapist provides an integrative, holistic, and developmentally sensitive path to assist therapists in assessing their unique needs and proactively structuring sustainable self-care practices, in alignment with their values. Included in this book are diverse and vital resources that help practitioners: Go beyond one-off activities to create a self-caring lifestyle; Strengthen the guiding values by which they live and work, in order to prevent burnout and embody wellness; Cultivate mindful awareness of their needs both personal and professional, with special attention to the alignment of the person-practitioner-work environment; Build powerful inner resources such as gratitude, self-compassion, forgiveness, and humor to soothe in response to threats and bounce back from daily challenges; Implement and sustain healthy lifestyle habits that transform "simply getting by" into more easeful and meaningful living, including neurophysiological supports, meditation and subtle energy practices, mindful media consumption, and community-building., Many therapists and counselors suffer under the weight of their clients' mental health struggles. All practitioners must learn to practice self-care. This book addresses the dearth in today's self-care training by presenting a sustainable approach that is integrative, holistic, and developmentally flexible., The Thriving Therapist provides an integrative, holistic, and developmentally sensitive path to assist therapists in assessing their unique needs and proactively structuring sustainable self-care practices, in alignment with their values. Self-care shouldn't feel like a burden. Professional self-care can be enjoyable, personally meaningful, and sustainably integrated into mental health practitioners' lives.

From constant worries about clients' well-being, to managing overwhelming workloads, doubts about their own effectiveness, and personal life struggles, practitioners are at risk for overwhelm, burnout, and compassion fatigue. It is therefore imperative for practitioners to treat one another-and themselves-with compassion and care. This book provides an integrative, holistic, and developmentally sensitive path to assist therapists in assessing their unique needs and proactively structuring sustainable self-care practices in alignment with their values. Included in this book are diverse and vital resources that help practitioners, go beyond one-off activities to create a self-caring lifestyle; strengthen the guiding values by which they live and work, in order to prevent burnout and embody wellness; cultivate mindful awareness of their needs both personal and professional, with special attention to the alignment of the person-practitioner-work environment; build powerful inner resources, such as gratitude, self-compassion, forgiveness, and humor, to soothe in response to threats and bounce back from daily challenges; and, implement and sustain healthy lifestyle habits that transform "simply getting by" into more easeful and meaningful living, including neurophysiological supports, meditation and subtle energy practices, mindful media consumption, and community building. Self-care shouldn't feel like a burden. This book shows how professional self-care can be enjoyable, personally meaningful, and sustainably integrated in practitioners' lives. Book jacket., Nearly half of all mental health providers have histories of abuse and family dysfunction, and almost one in five has experienced suicidal ideation. Many therapists and counselors suffer under the weight of their clients' mental health struggles. All practitioners must learn to practice self-care. Mental health providers are mindful listeners, problem-solvers, curious inquisitors, supporters, perspective-shifters, consultants, diagnosticians, body regulators, cheerleaders, coaches, guides, and healers. To do all this requires considerable personal reserves. Caring for themselves, as people and professionals, is imperative. This book addresses the dearth in today's self-care training by presenting a sustainable approach that is integrative, holistic, and developmentally flexible. When therapists feel deserving of self-care, when their values orient and shape their self-care behaviors and mindset, when mindful awareness of their needs comes frequently and with relative ease, and when their routines, practices, and activities are integrated rather than sporadic and fragmented, they can begin to practice sustainable self-care.
