But for years she couldn't manage to take her own advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany other helpers she knew were the same: they knew the signs of burnout, and they understood the science of self-care. Maybe they'd taken workshops on vicarious trauma; maybe they'd even taught them. But still, they struggled to escape the cycle of overwork, overwhelm and recovery. \u003cem\u003e52 Weeks to a Sweeter Life\u003c\/em\u003e is a workbook that speaks directly to these people—and anyone who struggles to pause, set boundaries and centre their own needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe workbook contains fifty-two lessons, one for each week of the year. Each week, readers will find a simple new idea and an experiment for trying it out, with deeper dives into the material provided, but every level of participation celebrated. Throughout, Doctor embraces both community care and self-care at the same time, showing readers the overlap between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeautifully written, direct and insightful, this workbook is a gentle and practical guide to a more balanced life, written for those who need it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485735862508,"sku":"9781771624039","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781771624039-52-weeks-to-a-sweeter-life-for-caregivers-activists-and-helping-professionals.jpg?v=1775713778"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/farzana-doctor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
