- Summary:
- Dr Cheryl Rezek understands and addresses the issues surrounding caregiving - the stress, fatigue and burnout that can happen to both professional and voluntary caregivers. She provides an accessible introduction to mindfulness and explains how simple mindfulness practices and psychological concepts can be used to manage the day-to-day demands of caring effectively, helping you to gain a greater sense of control and maintain a more positive and balanced outlook. The book includes easy-to-use and enjoyable mindfulness practices, short enough to fit into a busy day, as well as accompanying audio tracks to support and guide you through these practices.
