Welcome! We hope you enjoy this audiobook on Health and Self-Care.
HEALTH & SELF-CARE
Inner Balance for an Effective Life: For Health and All Professionals
Compiled, authored and read by Dr Andrew Tresidder
Health professionals learn all about illness, not about health. To use a metaphor, when it comes to their own health, they learn about car crashes, not how to avoid them. They aren’t taught about sensible driving, vehicle maintenance, good navigation or road design.
This audiobook covers aspects of physical health, emotional health, mental health, and health as harmony of being. It contains lots of material you may wished you had learnt much earlier in your career, about health and self-care in many aspects of life.
The aim is to stimulate thinking about important topics, and has been recorded for all professionals. There are a couple of short sections that particularly apply to doctors, but the principles there apply to us all.
Topics include, amongst others
Physical Health, The Stress Response, The Drama Triangle, How Life Works, Coping with Change and Loss, Inner Stillness. Relaxation.
