Self-care has its own importance in the lives of caregivers because the mental/psychological and physical conditions of caregivers must be in optimum conditions (Floyd, 2008). Otherwise, caregivers can become stress out/traumatized by not being able to resolve situations of caring for traumatized individuals. There can be situations when the caregiver might get influenced by the condition/situation in which the traumatized individual might live. This implies that there is the requirement of a sound mind and a sound body to show self-control towards specific aspects of getting influenced.
