Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others Audiobook (Free)

A longtime injury worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky presents a deep and empathetic study from the often-unrecognized toll taken on those working to produce the world an improved place. We may feel exhausted, cynical, or numb or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, impact us independently and collectively, sapping the power and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to advantage humankind, other living stuff, and the earth itself. In Injury Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional method—to keep from getting overwhelmed by developing a quality of mindful existence. Joining the intelligence of ancient ethnic traditions with modern psychological analysis, Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound procedures that will enable us to remake ourselves—and ultimately the world.
