Selbstfürsorge in helfenden Berufen

People in the caring professions are at risk of overlooking their own limitations and needs. Self-care is not a luxury, however, but an indispensable basis for helping. This book presents a model for self-care that takes into account biographical influences, personality factors and structural working conditions. Many practical examples and scientific findings show how mindfulness methods, meditation and self-reflection can help strengthen your own self-care. It becomes clear that self-care can be fun and can enrich the workplace setting. A five-week course presented in a practical way enables readers to make an active start right away. Audio files, recorded by the author herself, are available online to encourage readers to practise.
