Console Your Soul
The act of caregiving can be physically exhausting and emotionally draining, yet many caregivers describe it as an overwhelmingly rewarding and gratifying experience.
When working with traumatized individuals, families, and communities, care providers are not only prone to vicarious trauma listening to the stories of others, but many healers tend to neglect their own needs and boundaries, risking burnout and compassion fatigue.
Many caregivers believe that their feelings do not matter, and that they should ignore their needs, deny their pain, brush off their trauma, put up a big smile, and just suck it up and keep walking wounded. This book intends to expose the culture of caregiving that is full of dark secrets, toxic stress, and silent suffering.
The Wounded Healer is a message of hope, not despair. Caregivers will learn the tools to treat themselves with compassion, nurse their wounds, console their souls, and find the joy, not only the pain, of caregiving.
