Leaving It at the Office: A Guide to Psychotherapist Self-Care

John C. Norcross,Gary R. VandenBos,James D. Guy

Mental health professionals provide better care to their clients when they care for themselves. This acclaimed highly practical guide–now revised and expanded with even more self-care strategies–helps busy psychotherapists balance their personal and professional lives. The book presents 13 research-informed self-care strategies and offers concrete methods for integrating them into daily life. Featuring examples and insights from master therapists, every chapter concludes with a self-care checklist. Infused with a positive message of self-renewal and growth, the book shows clinicians how to leave distress at the office and tend actively to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
