Anti-Burnout Card Deck: 54 Mindfulness and Compassion Practices To Refresh Your Clinical Work

These are great cards for therapists to use. I was hoping they would be broad enough to be used by other professions but they are really specific to just the clinical profession.

I am a professor and work with graduate students working in a professional counseling program. I use these at the beginning of every class for my internship students and they are great. They are thought-provoking and I think would be good for a counselor, social worker, or other mental health centered professional. I haven't looked at every card. There are 6 foci: Caring for the Self, Regaining Balance, Enjoying the Work, Empathetic Attunement, Compassion for Self and Others, and Countertransference: Managing Triggers. I think these are great conversation starters for counseling students, staff meetings, or just a reminder to attend to the Self. I do wish they were a bit more eye-catching. For instance, I wish the different card types had a different picture on them instead of just a different color header. This is purely aesthetic, and not something I would take a star away for. I love this idea. Thanks to the creators.

I picked these up as a fun way to start our weekly clinical meetings. the therapists seem to like them and it starts out meetings in a new way each week. I would recommend this to any mental health organization.

As someone who has been burnt out to the point of second-guessing my career, these were super helpful. They have suggestions for all kinds of situations and look great to use with patients too. Highly recommend.

I'm a seasoned psychologist and bought these because they were mentioned in a webinar on clinician self-care. I was expecting more and am disappointed because they are so repetitive. I had planned to share them with therapists at the three agencies where I supervise, but won't because the cards might come across as too simplistic. Pretty much everyone who's a buyer seems to love these, so I'm out of step, but the authors and potential buyers might want to know there's a dissenting voice.

These help me ground daily. Bought cards for several friends.

My therapist gf loved them, and commented on the publisher immediately. Apparently they are the ones who offer the credit hours for renewing licensure or something. So a well known and respected company! She said she is going to use these often in her home office, and take good care of them. We flipped through a few cards on Christmas and they are so, so relevant and helpful. Perfect little gift for the overworked and exhausted therapist in your life. Love them!

Super helpful to pull a card at random when I'm feeling a little bummed or lackluster. Helps me find a little lightness in my day and encouragement to keep going.
