Most of us are quite practiced at being kind to others, especially in caregiver roles. Whether we have a high-needs child, an elderly parent, an ill partner, or are a professional caregiver such as a doctor, nurse, therapist, or teacher, we know to give support and comfort to the people who need us. But how many of us offer that same level of compassion to ourselves?
If our caring just goes one way – outward but not inward – we will eventually become drained and depleted. Self-compassion is crucial for caregivers because it allows us to resource ourselves so that we can continue our good work in the world.
This workshop will present theory and research on the key role that self-compassion plays for caregivers. A variety of practices will be taught that can help you maintain equilibrium in difficult caregiving situations. You will also explore how to meet your needs in a balanced and fulfilling manner.
The workshop is relevant for the general public as well as professional caregivers.
CE Credits are available for live attendance to this workshop. See details below.
