Empowering Self-Care Through Mindfulness and Wellness

In this video, I will discuss how therapists can use insights from five powerful books—combined

with mindfulness research, sleep science, and whole-person wellness models—to

help clients build a sustainable self-care practice that supports their body, mind,

and spirit. Across these works, self-care is framed not as indulgence, but as structured,

values-based living. Each author offers a different lens, and when blended with mindfulness

and nervous-system science, these perspectives help clients develop consistent,

meaningful behavioral change. David Deida’s The Way of the Superior Man centers self-care

around purpose, emotional honesty, and embodied presence (Deida, 2017).
