**You don’t have to sacrifice your own wellbeing to support your clients’. Practical tools to prevent burnout, heal your nervous system, process shared trauma, and thrive as a therapist or care professional—a somatic guide to sustaining yourself for the job you love** Care Without Collapse is a practical, compassionate, and neuroscience-informed somatic guide for helpers, healers, therapists, and caregivers navigating life and work in an age of chronic stress and polycrisis. Dr. Jenny King meets us where we’re at, acknowledging the costs of care in an environment that asks us to hold far more than our nervous systems were designed to handle. This book proposes self-keeping versus self-care, showing how we can tend to ourselves sustainably, in real-time, and without inaccessible or unrealistic “wellness” interventions. Chapters explore: How to use the Clarity Compass, a reflective tool to identify specific states of dysregulation and choose appropriate interventions Caring for ourselves and our clients in a time of polycrisis The costs and gifts of the work we do, from indirect trauma to vicarious growth How to support the nervous system in times of crisis The importance of co-regulation, community care, and why we were never meant to do this alone Cultivating rest, pleasure, and boundaries in the body Hope, grief, and sustaining our humanity over the long haul Dr. King argues that bearing witness to others’ suffering—even and especially when it’s our job or our calling—leaves imprints on our bodies and minds. This book validates that burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma aren’t personal failures or poor boundaries: they’re natural, predictable outcomes of doing care work in fundamentally uncaring systems. But healing your bodymind and sustaining your work for the long term is possible with the right tools and approach.
