Practicing self-care is more than simply taking time to yourself. Maintaining boundaries, taking frequent breaks, and being mindful of one's emotions can help replenish the energy required to be a compassionate and present counselor. Taking time to step away and find an enjoyable activity will give a much needed reset.

Ah Me Time!
