Therapist's Guide to Self-Care
Therapist's Guide to Self-Care | Lillie Weiss
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Psychotherapy is an increasingly stressful profession. Yet therapists spend most of their time helping clients deal with their stress, not caring for their own. This book is designed as a tool for the experienced counselor, junior therapist, and graduate student, as the issues confronted and discussed herein are relevant to anyone in the field, regardless of experience or expertise. Dr. Weiss has written a book in an easy, conversational tone, filled with concrete examples and blending research findings, clinical experience and theoretical approaches into practical suggestions and sound advice. The book is divided into three parts, discussing therapist concerns and questions that are continually raised, and providing practical tools based on clinical experience and research findings. It will be useful to all mental health professionals who have felt the strain of their practice.

This is a perfect way to spend a #SelfCareSunday- quiet, coffee, Litsy and cardinals.

BookwormM The cardinal looks very curious 5y
j9brown I always get excited when I spot a cardinal! They're almost too pretty to be real 😀 5y

I've taken my shower and spritzed some perfume. I need so much, as I think I'm having a depression reaction to a new medication. I'm feeling malaise and depression. I may have to succumb to some creamy dessert thing today. #selfcaresunday

Godmotherx5 Dessert is good. 6y
Eggs I so understand. Often I'm the last one I take care of 💔 6y

WarpedSweetness I always dread when my doctor suggests trying a new medication. Dessert is good! I hope you get some relief soon. ❤❤❤❤❤ 6y
Megara This whole weekend has been dedicated to self-care for me because my cup is empty (or, if you prefer, I‘m totally out of spoons). Mostly I‘ve been meditating, but suggestions for more self-care ideas always welcome. ♥️ 6y

#selfcaresunday @miralunasbooknook

Christmas is celebrated on Christmas Eve in Germany. So all the mayhem would happen today, were my kids with me. Sadly they are not and the first time in my life I am spending Christmas all alone. So a lot of selfcare is needed today to avoid falling into a depression ditch.

#5, I tend to count to 10 when something annoys me, trying to breathe evenly. If that doesn't help, I repeat it in a different language.

laurieluna Oh no! Fellow littens are here for company and Christmas celebration. Sending love! 🎄❤ 6y
jbhops Hugs from a litten across the pond. I hope you can keep your spirits up! We're here for you, @julesG 6y

tournevis Francophones in Canada celebrated on Christmas Eve as well, so I am in Quebec at my parents'. They are old in all the annoying ways and I am already at wits's end. This said, tonight, there will be cousins and food, and exasperation, as is proper. I'm sending you good thoughts and wish you phone calls from them. All the hugs. 🤶🎁🎄🤶🎁🎄🤶😘😘😘 6y
Kaye @julesG I understand completely. I‘d rather not give details, but we rarely ever have family here for holidays ( for multiple reasons ). For many years , it was so hard, but we‘ve learned to adjust. I had one year that I didn‘t even want a tree up, but am past that now. We enjoy a good meal and , in a way, treat it like any other day. Just with better food. That‘s how I get through it. 6y
CareBear Sending lots of Litsy love! We‘re all here if you need it. ❤️ 6y
Jinjer So sorry your kids aren‘t with you, but you at least have your Litsy family! . Merry Christmas! 6y
