Elizabeth and Paul discuss the value of developing and maintaining self-awareness as a helping professional, and the ways in which high levels of self-awareness can significantly enhance our support for those we seek to help. They share some of their own strategies for being self-aware including journaling, recruiting critical friends, and mind-body awareness practices.
