Essential Workers: Pain Management is crucial for maintaining self-care
We have all heard over and over about the importance of self-care. It is now even part of our Code of Ethics’ most recent revision. Pain management is a crucial aspect of self-care. Both improved self-care, and pain management, will likely enhance our ability to care for ourselves and our Clients. What we also need to do is improve our understanding and acceptance of self-care as being more than just telling ourselves we need to have a better work/life balance. We need to determine and operationalize a personal self-care/pain management plan.
