Only when you thrive can you give of your best to the world each day.

Discover 7 powerful principles that will help you:

  • Create supportive beliefs around your own worth
  • Gain a greater understanding of your risk factors
  • Transform your thoughts and emotions
  • Calm your anxiety
  • Become more assertive
  • Replenish your energy

“This brilliant book… should be required reading for all caring professionals.” - Dr. Jane Buckle, former nurse and lecturer for healthcare professionals

SARAH KUIPERS ran a successful practice for over 20 years as a single mother, before burning out. Since completing a Masters in Research on stress and burnout she has facilitated numerous courses in personal development and stress management for medical students.

An absolute must for anyone working in stressful or emotionally challenging environments. Easy step by step guide to self-care.

An excellent resource for those who find themselves in a caregiver role whether it is a part of their employment or a personal situation. In order to provide care for another one must take care of themselves which is something so many people forget. Burnout and moral distress are very real and can have dramatic and traumatic impact on caregivers, learning how to avoid and treat these problems is critical. I think this book would be a good book for all entering the healthcare field.

As a counsellor, hypnotherapist and psychotherapist myself, many of the recommended resources are familiar to me yet there is something about the clear framework and spirit of this book, the way it is presented that motivates me to further transformative action. I already find I have personally benefited from reading and applying this book.
The author regularly honours the importance of reaching out for the professional services of a counsellor/psychotherapist too when necessary. I believe it is an excellent book for counsellors to recommend to their clients as well as for their own personal benefit.
