Therapist's Guide to Self-Care

by Lillie Weiss

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.

I can't believe this book has kept me dear company for about a week now and it just left me there without a greeting. This book was my soulmate for this week. I'm not sure if this even makes sense. There's so much wisdom in this book, it gave me so much to think about, I love my field so much.
