Being a professional can be a difficult job as you are often required to work and interact with emotional, vulnerable and distressed people.
It is important to have ongoing self care tools to avoid burnout, as the biggest demand on you is ongoing stress.
Do you feel run down, exhausted, burnt out?
It is important to recognise the signs of burnout:
• Loss of motivation and energy
• Feeling helpless or hopeless, as if your work is pointless
• Chronic fatigue
• Becoming overly cynical
• Becoming “closed off” to any input
• Irritability or quickness to anger
• Depression or anxiety
Causes of burnout:
• Clients loads are too high
• Feeling of a lack of control over your work
• Too little reward for the work being done
• A breakdown in support from colleagues
• Clashes between your values as a therapist and your workplace demands
• Vicarious trauma
• Compassion fatigue
The aim of this 1 day workshop is to interactively assist you in discovering and experiencing effective tools for self care – connecting, grounding and revitalising you from within.
This experiential workshop will help you to deal with:
• Vicarious trauma
• Compassion fatigue
• Professional burnout
