Help for Helpers: Daily Meditations for Counselors (Hazelden Meditations)

Some of the daily reflections are great and make you reflect. But other days don’t really seem like they apply.

I work in the field of physical rehab medicine with the adult/geriatric population and sometimes it can be really emotionally draining. A large percentage of my patients are at the end of their life spans and facing permanent debility and possible nursing home placement. Some days it's hard not to go home in tears. There really aren't any Daily Meditation books for my profession, but this is close enough. I just substitute the word "caregiver" for "counselor" and everything falls right into place. I really need to read the reminders to do things like listen to music, get outside, get back to nature, play, and breathe. Simple things that are so easy to forget when you're in an environment of emotional chaos all day.Anyone who spends any kind of time helping others, either professionally or as a volunteer or family member, will benefit from this book. Definitely a keeper.

The daily reader is a must have for anyone working in the field of social work. It is one of a kind and focused on the therapist and working with clients. There is nothing else like it on the market that I know of.

Love this book! Keeps me grounded day to day

This Hazelden meditation book is a classic, a daily reflection for those who work supporting others! A new thought for each day of the year!

Very much enjoy the short reading

bought this years ago, not sure why being asked to review (again?) so many years later. However, happy to say that for a counsellor who is also a Christian this has been a very successful purchase, and when I recommended it to my colleagues on the counselling team they were very interested in ordering their own copies. A lovely book.

I really like this book. It has a lot of insight into the personality of those of us who love to "help". It keeps me on the path of myself, so I don't get out there too far in others problems. I highy recommend this book to anyone who has a problem being co-dependent.

love the daily readings. Helps me prepare for client work.
