Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky, Connie Burk

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Many things I appreciated about this book. The thoughtful perspective on being present and deliberate to handle exposure to suffering. The diagrams on the inside covers. The funny illustrations bringing humor to a tough topic. The profiles giving first-person examples of the principles. The “try this” suggestions. Highly recommend if you are near people who are suffering and find yourself struggling or distancing.
