Resumen del Editor

A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, numb, or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other animals, and the planet itself. Through Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way - not by becoming overwhelmed but by developing a quality of mindful presence. Joining the wisdom of ancient cultural traditions with modern psychological research, Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices that will allow us to remake ourselves - and ultimately the world.

Good book, horrendous narration

I was super excited that this came in audiobook format, so I could listen to this in my car, but once it began I realized something was terribly wrong. The narrator seems unfamiliar and unenthusiastic about the subject and verged on bored. They really did not do this book justice. Perhaps this was the narrators first time reading for an audiobook? I would highly recommend that this author finds better narration for their book to do their book the justice it needs.

Eye opening and healing

I started this book to get me ready to do fostering.
Little I knew how much I was going to learn about myself, about my motivation and about how to heal within to give true, sustainable support to others.
Highly recommend to everyone. You don't need to work on the medical field or be a social worker to benefit from it. As a mom, daughter, co-worker, friend, community members you are exposed to secondary trauma on a daily basis and this is an excellent book to increase our resilience

prevent burnout -promote self care

Helpful to prevent future burnout and promote self care. great for social workers especially. worth reading.

Essential reading for our time

Trauma-informed professionalism requires trauma stewardship. Resilient Activism requires trauma stewardship. If you are paying attention to our world, you need trauma stewardship.

Excellent!

I loved this book content and I loved the narration. Just an excellent experience all around.

Excellent book!

Loved listening and following along with the book. Her adding the newspaper cartoons was refreshing and gave me something to look forward to during the read.

Very helpful!

There are many things to learn from this book. I am going to take a few and incorporate them in my life!

A bit dated, but great overall

I wish they had professional narrators and storytellers; the choppy reading was distracting and I could hear some of the other contributors turning pages in the background as they were reading.
I didn’t realize how old this book was until the author kept talking about critical incident stress debriefing, which is an outdated method of handling trauma after traumatic events and can be harmful in a lot of situations. But a good amount of the information in this book, especially the second half, is timeless and useful.

Should be required reading for teachers

This book changed my viewpoint of my career. I am a teacher and the first thing that struck me is how many people and professions are impacted by trauma. I saw myself and my coworkers all throughout the reading. I realized I need a plan B. I’m burned out. My coworkers probably need a plan B too. But the book has made me more calm in the classroom and do a lot of self-
reflection that just may renew my interest in teaching.

essential for anyone involved with"helping others"

check in with yourself to do the important work of self care. if you listen, you will be alarmed to action to attend to oneself
