self-care is a non-negotiable when you are an End Of Life Doula in private practice.
It’s not a matter of if we become affected with a case it’s when. We must be aware at all times of how we feel as we’re serving and it’s our responsibility to handle whatever our emotions are that are intense or somehow get our attention.
If we don’t, we will become belligerent as we try to avoid our own feelings, they will get in the way.
Our only choice is to deal with them and we will heal. It is a Healer’s journey.
