133 - The 4 'C's' of Self Care & Creating A Life You Don't Need to Escape From with Dr. Karen Dyck and Dr. Melissa Tiessen

Private Practice Elevation with Daniel Fava

Do you feel like you’re intentionally creating a life from which you don’t need to escape?

Or are you finding it incredibly difficult to create a balance between caring for others’ needs and caring for yourself?

In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast, you’re going to receive a framework that you can apply to your life so that you can embrace self-care in a way that works for you.

Let’s face it… incorporating self-care into our daily lives is hard.

It seems so counterintuitive to take time out of your day to focus on yourself, do things that bring you joy, or just slow down.

And we can often deal with feelings of guilt for putting our own needs above others.

I know I’ve struggled with this.

Today we’re speaking with Dr. Karen Dyck and Dr. Melissa Tiessen about what it means to embrace self-care and the positive impact it can have on our lives.

They’ve developed a framework, called The 4 ‘C’s”, that is going to help you identify where life has gotten off-balance and give you a road forward toward creating a life you love.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The 4 ‘C’s’ of Self-Care: Connection, Compassion, Courage, and Creativity

• How the 4 ‘C’s’ are connected and how to move between them to embrace self-care in a way that helps you thrive

• The shared challenges we all face when it comes to taking care of ourselves

• How our brains are wired in a way that actually makes self-care counterintuitive

• How the 4 ‘C’s’ can be cultivated and developed in order to help us to create the life we want to live
