SELF-CARE. What is it? Seriously, I’d like to know your take on it. I just had a discussion with some other therapists and it seems as though many people tend to see self-care as being selfish. On the other hand, I recently had a client tell me that they are realizing that self-care is much more than “fun, pampering” activities and also includes necessary, and sometimes not-so-fun activities like eating right, exercising, and going to the doctor [and, may I add…a therapist] when you should. They summed it up very well by saying that self-care is everything you do to be your best self—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. What about you? What is self care for you?
