This course addresses a topic that is vitally important to therapists, offering a positive approach to enjoying their chosen profession, being the best they can be at it, and tackling or preventing burnout. Follow the journey towards self-awareness and self-care among psychology professionals, a group that is characteristically attuned to caring for others. This course demonstrates a way to balance personal and professional lives by tending physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and the need to feel connected.

This course is designed to help you:

  1. Name and define the three components of self-care and ensuing results when self-care needs are ignored;
  2. Comprehend the changing needs of therapist self-care across the lifespan;
  3. Identify sociocultural forces, life challenges, and aspects of self that affect motivation to become a therapist and self-care needs and ability;
  4. Specify ways to care for psychological, physical, and spiritual self; and
  5. Identify therapy-centered demands and therapist-centered pressures affecting self-care ability.
