The text reads as if you are having a conversation with a close mentor. In a world that promotes quick self-care, Skovholt and Trotter-Mathison provide something deeper. A source of wisdom and comfort, The Resilient Practitioner reminds us we are not alone in the heaviness of the work and provides thoughtful strategies to continue providing care for oneself and, in turn, others.

Educators will instantly feel seen from page one of The Resilient Practitioner. I am a veteran educator, and this book puts into words the challenges I have faced. I saw both what I am doing right and what I can do to remain healthy and stay in such a demanding relationship-intense profession. This should be required reading for all preservice teachers.

The fourth edition of The Resilient Practitioner provides four decades of empirical and practice wisdom on self-care, professional thriving, and resilience to those working in relationship-intense professions. This is an accessible and highly recommended book!

Throughout my career, The Resilient Practitioner has been one of my most trusted companions. Its the one book I always recommend to colleagues, trainees, and even family members in the helping professions. Skovholt and Trotter-Mathison fill these pages with their warmth, wisdom, and insight to help us move towards a more sustainable, fulfilling practice today. The Resilient Practitioner has helped me be a more effective therapist, but also a better husband, parent, and community member.

Adam Sumner, PhD, licensed psychologist, South Dakota, USA

I highly recommend The Resilient Practitioner to practitioners at any stage in their career. This skillfully curated treasure trove of theory, practitioner insights, case studies, vignettes and exercises for self-reflection reads like a good novel and feels like the best peer-supervision session in book form.
