On Being A Fulcrum: A Guide to Thriving as a Helper, Healer and Support Person (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069429407)

Known as helpers, healers, empathetic listeners, and shoulders to lean on, "fulcrums" are all around us. These individuals possess the presence and skills necessary to foster a supportive environment where transformative changes can take place. Although this is not always the case, their inherent predisposition often motivates them to pursue careers in helping, supporting, or healing professions.

However, despite their invaluable contributions to those around them, few, if any, are taught how to effectively manage their craft. Combined with societal norms, myths, and personal beliefs, this creates the perfect storm for the burnout cycle to occur, ultimately impacting the fulcrum's health and well-being on all levels.

"On Being a Fulcrum" is the culmination of over ten years of observation, conversation, and experience. Written for both professionals and non-professionals, it provides valuable insights into the patterns that may either ignite your passion or extinguish it. When managed effectively, the art of helping, healing, and supporting others can be a rewarding lifelong endeavor. The power to create change in your life is in your hands.
