Empathetic Distress is a mindset that leads to serious problems for people in the workplace. Feeling a sense of burnout can not only affect the provider, but also the people who are receiving services. The focus of this session is to reflect on what it means to thrive as a human being and to learn tools designed to reflect on our purpose in doing the work and developing the compassion and self-compassion to show up for ourselves, our loved ones, our clients and any other being we encounter in the emotionally healthiest way possible. We have assumed a huge responsibility for the care and welfare of others.
But if we ourselves are in distress and overwhelmed by life and work, we cannot be in a position to best access the wisdom we need to be able to find the solutions that are most beneficial to our clients. This presentation reaches all people because we touch on the fundamental aspects of being a human being working in stressful environments. Changing our mindset as to how and why we do the work will lead to a happier and healthier life which will also flow naturally to the way we more positively approach all aspects of our life.
This session will allow us to reflect on the way we want to show up in the World, both for ourselves and others so that we may be of better service to our communities. There will be group discussions revolving around four questions. The participants will engage in small group discussion and share their reflections with all the participants.
