"A safe space for helping professionals to work through compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.
Research has shown that psychotherapists and other helping professionals, particularly those who assist people who have suffered traumatic incidents, face risks to their own mental and physical health. These risks include unmanageable countertransference, compassion fatigue, vicarious traumatization, and burnout.
The Help for the Helper Workbook is a companion to Babette Rothschild's Help for The Helper, Updated and Expanded (2022). It includes practical tasks and exercises that complement the original volume to enhance and strengthen the ability of helping professionals to better care for their own psychological health while assisting highly stressed and traumatized clients. Whether used on its own or in combination with the original volume, this workbook provides helpers with a safe space to prioritize their well-being."
"Exercises of healing and transformation for trauma survivors.
Drawing from neuroscience and psychotherapy with empowering strategies to take charge of healing from trauma, this workbook follows the theme of each of the eight keys in 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery. The two books complement each other; but it is not necessary to have listened to the original to benefit from this workbook, which presents practical exercises and activities integral to safe trauma recovery and designed to support listeners' control of their mind, body, and life in the aftermath of trauma.
One thing is for sure: there is no one-size-fits-all method for healing trauma. This workbook will help listeners identify, assess, and celebrate the resources they already have, and add more resources to their toolbox.
Most importantly, the authors do not subscribe to the old motto 'no pain, no gain,' fostering instead the concept that healing from trauma should not be traumatic."
