A few months back I attended a great training on the neurobiology for trauma-informed care offered by Dr. Julie Rosenzweig, and she pointed us to additional resources around self-care.
As a woman who wears many hats (and quite a few that are demanding), self-care is something I'm always working on, learning about and wanting to share with others in my world. Certainly yoga and meditation is a major part of my self-care plan. One of my life goals is to share this with others who would benefit from these tools and face barriers to accessing yoga. As woman who has experienced trauma herself, not to mention the inter-generational trauma experienced by my people, self-care is not just some nice buzzword created by academics. It's a survival strategy that has helped me develop resilience.
These resources come from the University of Buffalo School of Social Work, who created a self-care starter kit. So much good stuff there.
If you want the quicky version, their info graphic is fantastic.
