About
A therapist/practitioner's capacity for regulation when working with children and families is essential. We want to provide a framework, resources, and self-care practices to ensure therapists and practitioners wellbeing is prioritised and protected so that they are working from a window of sustainability, health, and wellbeing.
The workshop will focus on the mental health and wellbeing of the therapist/practitioner and offer a framework and somatic interventions that are regenerative and replenishing, protecting them from the inherent stress and overwhelm as frontline workers.
Objectives
- What is Self-Care? Why a bubble bath doesn't always cut it!
- Window of tolerance and presence to ensure practitioners are working from a place of health and sustainability
- To protect practitioners from vicarious trauma and burnout by adopting a neuroscientific framework that reduces the impact of working with stress, trauma and overwhelm during challenging times
- A gift from our First Nations people – Daddiri - the art of Deep Listening (Dr Miriam Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann). Building capacity for interoception to support resilience, good mental health and wellbeing
- Boundaries – Empathy without boundaries equals burnout. How to ensure practitioners are aware of when they are defaulting into patterns that might be harmful to their health and wellbeing.
"Empathy without boundaries equals burnout."
