Compassionate Burnout Prevention

Service Description

Caring for others is within our human nature, but what happens when it starts to come at the expense of our own needs. Caring for others as a family member or close friend, as a therapist or healthcare provider, as a teacher or other helping profession can be very rewarding, but can also become overwhelming. You may lose your own voice; resentment may build; external recognition may diminish and negative thoughts can spirals. As a mother, an individual living with chronic conditions, and as a social worker for 19 years, I can fully appreciate how difficult it can be to be pulled in multiple directions, and to struggle to find yourself in the mix. Join me on November 20 for a one-day workshop to improve your stress management, quality of life, self-compassion & general sense of well-being. We'll complete mindfulness-based practices together, explore your stress cycle, discuss your values & reframe expectations. Having honoured your needs for the day, you'll leave feeling rejuvenated having reconnected with your true self within a supportive setting, while also having improved skills to carry forward for ongoing coping.
