This is Brockman's second book, emphasising the importance of self-care for the legions of people supporting and taking care of others. This includes paid professionals including nurses, counsellors/therapists, social service workers, paramedics, hospice workers as well as teachers and other "high-intensity relaters". Additionally, the target audience includes the more than 78 million American baby boomers who are now taking care of their ageing parents or a loved one at home with an illness such as cancer or Alzheimers disease. "Special features": This book addresses the issues of unconscious empathy, the characteristics of the helper personality, inconsistent or insufficient boundaries and the subtle energy consequences that can occur from inadequate self-care such as illness and adrenal fatigue, resulting in secondary traumatisation and compassion fatigue.
