There are many ways to manage your stress and seek self care to make your difficult job sustainable, and maybe even rewarding. One long term solution could be therapy. I’m a BIG proponent of therapy and still see my own therapist regularly to process the range of emotions that comes with working challenging cases.

But therapy isn’t a viable or accessible option for everybody, and that’s why we are advocates of taking matters into our own hands—which is where a custom crisis comes in!

When you create a crisis kit, you give yourself multiple options and ways to regulate your emotions or complete your stress cycle so none of that baggage (or as little as possible) stays in your system. You can build it in a way that addresses your unique needs and preferences. And you can have it on hand ANY time you need an outlet (i.e. in your car, between sessions).

If you hesitate to invest in yourself or have very little time to dedicate to self care, this is an easy and practical way to start giving yourself the care your body, mind, and heart are screaming for.

In conclusion: You need a crisis kit. I’d say you even deserve one.
