Self-Care Strategies Self-care is a widely acknowledged aspect of Counseling. Through research, studies and hard-earned self-knowledge, experts have defined personal attributes, strategies such as mentoring, and qualities that can lead to development of the therapeutic self. Due to differing experiences and results, experts may differently name those attributes, strategies and qualities but all are focused on taking care of the self as the counselor takes care of his/her clients and other people in his/her personal and professional life. Research shows that the concept of self-care is not unique to the Counseling profession. Common, important attributes of self-care in the "five areas" of the cognitive, emotional, physical, spiritual and social self are beneficial to all professions providing services to the public. In addition, the self-care strategy that includes mentoring is potentially highly beneficial to service professions, including counseling, due to coaching, establishment and maintenance of networks, assistance with new opportunities for training, publication, presentations and research, and provision of other supports for the mentee as needed. While it may be true that mentoring may not be strictly "necessary" for the counselor, the ideal mentoring relationship is clearly quite advantageous for the counselor. Finally, personal attributes for the development of the therapeutic self may be named differently by different experts: counselors may use the categories of physical self-care, psychological self-care, emotional self-care, spiritual self-care, workplace or professional self-care and balance; mentors, particularly those with a Buddhist outlook, may name nonjudging, patience, a beginner's mind, trusting, acceptance, letting go and nonstriving; nurses may name a genuine self that is honest, open and flexible and fosters the positive attitudes of worth, integrity, open-mindedness and hopefulness. The common threads in all these named qualities are focused on the development of a genuine, balanced, well-rounded self who can healthfully meet the challenges of personal and professional life.
