Reseña del libro "Help Yourself...: A Nurse's Guide to Implementing Self-Care (en Inglés)"
"My personal experience as a nurse has brought me here today. We have been blessed with the ability to care for people. We are compassionate, loving, caring individuals with a passion to help. We don't like to see people experience emotional and, or physical pain, and we will do our very best as nurses to help them in any way we can. We are nurses to our patients, clients, members, families, friends and our pets. We are conditioned to care for everyone first, before we take care of ourselves" - Lillian Gonzalez. Author and nurse Lilian Gonzalez has witnessed throughout her life and career as a nurse that many of her colleagues and friends don't take care of themselves. Nurse's bodies put up with a lot of physical, mental and emotional abuse, much of which they fail to deal with until it's too late. They work under a lot of stress and this can bring on illness, disease, and mental anguish. Many of the nurses that Lillian has met suffer from anxiety, depression, insomnia, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, arthritis, poor memory, headaches, myalgias, and so many other diseases--all while still wanting to look after others before themselves. In this must-read book, Lillian shares with you her life experience as a nurse and the tools and strategies she has picked up along the way during her thirty years of experience in the medical field. You will learn self-healing techniques you can incorporate in your daily routine that are critical to your emotional and physical wellbeing. Because, when we are healthy and happy within ourselves, we will transmit the energy to our patients, family, friends and everyone we meet.
