If you are in long-range therapy for trauma or deep inner pains, personal self care is a necessity. Starting and sustaining personal self care prevents discouragement or dropping out from necessary therapy and fosters balanced wellness/resilience. Personal self care strategies include focus on nurturing the emotional self, the financial self, the humorous self, the loving self, the nutritious self, the physical self, the playful self, the priority-setting self, the relaxation and stress-reduction self, the solitary self, and the spiritual self.
