WHY COMPASSION FATIGUE?
The Compassion Fatigue workshop is all about YOU! It’s about rediscovering the things that are life-giving to you. It’s about remember that there’s more to us than the care we provide to others. And, in fact if we only live for others, or pour ourselves out until there is nothing left then…well, there will be nothing left. And that can feel rotten at best, and hopeless at its worst.
RECLAIMING WHO YOU ARE
Do you remember what it’s like to laugh? To be absorbed in a moment that gives YOU capacity? When is the last time you connected with a friend who was interested in supporting YOUR well being? Has it been a while since you were able to put down your work and pick up that fun, childish side of yourself? Maybe with kids present? Perhaps without?
DURING THE WORKSHOP
During the Compassion Fatigue workshop our participants will engage in a number of self-assessments. These will help you clarify where your levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and vicarious trauma are at. They’ll also help you identify where there are gaps in your self-care practices. Self-care is about more than bubble baths and a good night’s rest. They’re also about paying attention to the spiritual side of ourselves, how we look after our bodies, our emotional health, and more.
