Dear Erlyn,
Thank you for your comments.
Being in the caring profession never emphasized the need to care for the carers. we have always been socialized to be "self-less" in our service and we as Pinoys have no qualms in giving our all. Also since we are supposedly self- sufficient and great problem solvers, we should be experts in handling stress. All of these notions have been challenged in this pandemic and I do hope to the point when self-care will be part of our training/ culture as health care providers.
Now...let's take a break and go take a walk!
