*Practice in Action: Ethical Self-Care

‼️Continuing Education Series‼️

In our latest Psyched to Practice episode, we explore the often-overlooked topic of self-care for helping professionals. They delve into why self-care is more than just a feel-good concept—it’s an ethical responsibility that directly impacts our ability to serve others. Paul and Ray reflect on how the pandemic reshaped the conversation around self-care, highlighting the tension between the need to care for ourselves and the demand to support others. They discuss how burnout, compassion fatigue, and even poor decision-making can emerge when self-care is neglected. The hosts emphasize that self-care isn’t just a one-time action but a lifestyle, requiring ongoing reflection and deliberate effort. They also discuss practical strategies for integrating self-care into daily routines, from taking short, intentional breaks to embracing hobbies that bring joy and energy. Learn how shifting the mindset around self-care can transform it from a perceived luxury to a professional necessity, helping you maintain resilience and provide the best care possible for your clients. Tune in to this episode to learn how to make self-care a sustainable part of your life and practice, and why taking care of yourself is the key to helping others.
