Simple Self-Care for Therapists...

Ashley Davis Bush

For mental health professionals who must regularly guard against compassion fatigue and secondary traumatization, intentional self-care isn't just essential; it's a survival tool. If therapists don't take proper care of themselves, they can't do their work effectively. 
 
 
 
Taking up an exercise program, going on a vacation, turning to supportive social networks, while helpful remedies to the stresses of the job, are not always feasible and the results are often only short term. Synthesizing the latest thinking in mindfulness, neuroscience, energy medicine, and spiritual disciplines, Simple Self-Care for Therapists offers immediate relief in doable, bite-sized nuggets—easy exercises that can be seamlessly integrated into your current workday routine with little fuss. 
 
 
 
Over sixty restorative practices are presented—tools for grounding, energizing, and relaxing—organized as antidotes to the most common pathologies that therapists suffer: vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Bush, a therapist with over twenty-five years of experience, walks listeners through the descriptions and simple implementation of each practice, with illuminating stories from her own professional experiences.

What if dreams are more than fleeting visions of the night? What if they are windows into hidden dimensions of the mind, time, and the universe itself? 
Dreaming the Universe – Exploring the Hidden Secrets of Sleep is a journey into the mysteries of the dreamworld - an unseen landscape where science, spirituality, and the subconscious converge. From the forgotten third of our lives spent asleep, to the ancient cultures that revered dreams as gateways to wisdom, this audiobook unveils the extraordinary patterns behind our nightly visions. 
Discover how the architecture of sleep shapes our consciousness, why dreams often mirror waking life, and how symbols and archetypes form a secret language of the inner world.

Step into the night. Enter the dream. And awaken to the universe within.
