Simple Self-Care for Therapists cover

While compassion fatigue is a perennial concern among therapists, yoga or meditation retreats are not always feasible for busy clinicians. This pocket-sized book offers a host of quick, reenergising tools to draw on before and after sessions, and anytime in between.e listening easier than ever.

"Bush's approach is unique in that not only does she take the journey with us ... but she also breaks each exercise into bite-size chunks... Her conversational and inviting tone, descriptive stories, and real-life examples can help us implement self-care on a micro-level." -- PsychCentral "A wealth of micro self-care practices, eminently practical and immediately useful, all anchored in solid science and masterful clinical expertise. Each stand-alone practice is easy to incorporate into mini-moments of nurturing, grounding, gentling, and invigorating throughout the day. The entire book is superbly organized and a breeze to read, every exercise deftly illustrated by true-to-life clinical examples and generously referenced to a treasure-trove of experts in the field. Respectful of divergence in temperament and circumstances, Simple Self-Care for Therapists is a true gift to clinicians everywhere." -- Linda Graham, MFT, psychotherapist and author of Bouncing Back: Rewiring Your Brain for Maximum Resilience and Well-Being "Simple, clear, and effective. If you want to be the best healing professional and human being you can be, this treasure of a book is an essential companion." -- Elisha Goldstein, PhD, author of Uncovering Happiness and cofounder of The Center for Mindful Living
