Continuing professional development through short courses, clinical supervision and groups
What sort of life should we be living? To what extent do we seek to meet our own needs and to what extent do we put ourselves aside to serve others?
I suspect that this is a dilemma for most people and if you are anything like me that balance can change day by day or even moment by moment. Additionally there will be some times when meeting our own needs coincides with helping others and perhaps those moments are the ones we need to pursue.
For the rest of the time I think we have to decide according to circumstance; on some days we need to be of service to others, but on other days pay attention to just ourselves. Too much emphasis in one direction results in egocentricity and too much in the other results in burnout. (RPW)
