Mindfulness and Self-Care: Restorative Tools for Clinicians

Self-care should not wait until after hours or weekends. Restorative pauses are a must throughout the day for the prevention of compassion fatigue. This workshop will offer specific tools that harness the benefits of mindfulness as a means for personal care. Learn about a simple "tools to trigger" system for creating mindfulness habits throughout your workday. These well-being exercises are designed to be done while driving to work, sitting in front of the computer, before/during/and after sessions, and when transitioning to home. Let new habits of mind tap into your own neuroplasticity and provide escape from the monotony of autopilot.

This web conference is designed to help clinicians:

1. Identify four characteristics of the stress response that lead to burnout over time;
2. List three differences between environmental strategies for stress reduction versus inner peace strategies;
3. Apply the benefits of neuroplasticity in a simple system of linking tools to triggers;
4. Acquire six simple tools for self-care that can be used before work, during sessions, and after work.

Event Reviews from Members

I found her presentation, which included clinical, intuitive, and scientific explanations for tools to be SO validating! I have been integrating several similar tools into my life and my practice for years, coming from more of an intuitive place. Hearing the scientific commentary and the extent to which these brief rituals can actually help to re- wire our brains and stress response is fascinating and very hopeful!! - Delphyne J. Platner, PhD, MFT, CHT
