Since the publication of the first edition of Help for the Helper in 2006, the world has changed significantly. Due to existing and growing threats of war, increasing unrest, the COVID-19 pandemic, economic collapse, natural disasters, and more, therapists and other helping professionals often find themselves in a particularly difficult position: Struggling to personally cope with traumas and mass pressures that are very similar to those experienced by their clients and others they serve. To address these unique challenges, this revised and augmented edition includes guidance on assisting clients while maintaining the safety and mental health of therapists in critical situations, managing regular pressures and challenges during normal periods, as well as tips for dealing with trauma when it is not the therapist's specialty. Topics include neurophysiology and arousal regulation, self-care during common community/global crises, maintaining balance and resilience, countertransference, somatic empathy, mirroring, and mimicry.
