Heal the Healer

From visionary healthcare pioneer and founder of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition Joshua Rosenthal comes a compassionate survival guide for givers-the therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, and alternative medicine practitioners filling an ever-widening care gap left by our institutionalized healthcare system-who are chronically stressed, exhausted, and undervalued. If you're like most healers or caregivers, you're probably highly empathic and energetically attuned-but don't always give yourself the same level of care you provide to others. Instead, you go through your days striving to meet the needs of everyone around you. If you struggle with setting boundaries, compassion fatigue, or simply asking for support, Heal the Healer is just the resource you need. Written in a calming and encouraging tone, Heal the Healer offers practical advice and actionable exercises to help caregivers, healers, and helpers find more balance in their lives, heal old wounds, decrease stress, and actualize a more joyful future. This book teaches you to: Set boundaries and limitations in your work life Decrease symptoms of stress, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma Rewrite your story and overcome childhood wounds Protect your energy and foster a stronger work-life balance Seek out and take part in a community of peers Experience more joy Heal the Healer is an approachable, practical guide for stressed-out caregivers who are ready to set healthy boundaries, heal old wounds, and live a fuller, more joyful life.
