Description
Helping professionals
(therapists, teachers, medical professionals, foster parents, first responders)
are frequently exposed to some of the most difficult human stories.The constant barrage of seeing and hearing about
the traumatic experiences of others can take a toll on your physical and
emotional health, resulting in burnout, problems in relationships, emotional
and physical exhaustion, and in some cases, symptoms of PTSD. Learning how to handle the effects of
compassion fatigue will help professionals find meaning in their work again,
enjoy life outside of work, and learn how to set better life-work boundaries.
Using humor, stories, science, and practical interventions, Stacey helps
participants remember how to just breathe!
