“Dr. Kelley’s book really helped me see the causes of my stress and burnout. Feeling successful as a therapist is the only way to avoid the “compassion fatigue” that so many of us feel. Her exercises were especially helpful along the way. I highly recommend this book.”

FOREWARD
This book is a valuable resource, not only for strategies for professional success, but strategies for self-care which make such success more likely.
This important study will help readers understand why therapists are especially prone to developing burnout. It explains how one can prevent burnout before it has a chance to develop – or, if it has already developed – to recognize its warning signs and take steps to ameliorate it before it gets worse. Thus, it is a guide for prevention, as well as protection.
You will learn how to implement a structured method for defining your professional values, set short term and long term goals, and implement steps toward your goals. You will learn ways to experience feelings of career success, the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of your professional work, and about the importance of doing work which is a good “fit” for you.
It is well worth your investment of time, energy, and resources.
