Abstract
The importance of developing stress management and self-care techniques is important for counsellors and health practitioners alike. We must learn to find balance in both our personal and professional lives and tune into our emotions in order to continue working long into our careers as therapists. My intent with this capstone project is to explore the root of stress and the different interventions that could be used to understand and treat it. Different theories and models will be explored to understand the root of stress and how to approach it effectively. This capstone will offer a proactive approach to stress management. My research focuses on the following subject areas; 1. The symptoms and signs of burnout to spot it before it’s too late; 2. Self-care practices and techniques; 3. The contributors to increased stress levels both professionally and personally; 4. Current tools counsellors can learn and use to navigate their burnout or stress. I will work towards those goals by researching a variety of theoretical perspectives, their benefits, and limitations, and comparing them to current strategies. By critiquing those theories and their interventions, I aim to create a set of recommendations for counsellors dealing with the stressors of their work environment.
