Self-care is not an egocentric practice of navel gazing. It has to do with self-awareness and self-creation as well as with self-care and self-control. Self-care not only affects the individual way of dealing with oneself, but also relationships with other people and the world. It has been part of a philosophical program of the art of living since ancient times. Every professional therapy is confronted with questions of self-care, for example how the patients treat themselves and whether the therapist is too interested or too little interested in their own health. The authors give their conclusive and helpful answers based on models of balance, rhythm and resonance.
