WHAT CARE GIVERS NEED
In my forty plus years as a clinical social worker I’ve come to realize just how demanding providing care to others really is. The repeated exposure to another person’s suffering can result in a type of burnout called compassion fatigue.
To be effective as a care giver we need to understand that regular self-care is the foundation of providing good care for our clients. Care givers need to be empowered with the knowledge and tools they can utilize right away to discharge the emotional exhaustion of cumulative stress and recharge with positive energy.
WHAT I OFFER
First and foremost, I offer my personal experience of having compassion fatigue, burnout and depression and knowing the challenges care givers face.
In my activity-based workshops and webinars, I offer the opportunity to examine how our work impacts us and provide evidence-based methods to increase our vitality, embrace our positive emotions, cultivate self-compassion, embody our strengths and develop resilience.
In my virtual coaching sessions, I create a safe space for care givers to take a “deeper dive” into their individual experience and explore their unique talents, capacities and abilities to thrive in a challenging profession.
In my group mindful movement classes I offer encouragement and instruction for tapping into the innate intelligence and wisdom of the body’s mind through creative self expression.
