Rethinking Self-Care in Occupational Stress
Handbook of Research on Dissecting and Dismantling Occupational Stress in Modern OrganizationsAdvances in Human Resources Management and Organizational Development(2023)
Abstract
An abundance of literature on the subject of self-care reveals many understandings and, the authors suggest, misunderstandings, regarding self-care. Such (mis)understandings have impacted how both individuals and organizations alike have approached and even prescribed self-care practices. This chapter reviews several common (mis)understandings of self-care, including the notion of work-life balance, the disconnect between self-care theory and reality, and self-care and its relationship to occupational stress. Finally, drawing on both literature and the authors' experiences as therapists and educators, this chapter discusses how rethinking self-care can help individuals and organizations shift understandings of self-care, and in so doing, establish novel strategies for practicing self-care and dealing with occupational stress.
