The Hero’s Burden: Understanding & Healing Burnout & Compassion Fatigue
WITH RALPH DE LA ROSA
It seems a cruel irony that toxic stress can be a natural by-product of working to help others. Most of us made a commitment to compassionate action not expecting to be faced with this reality. The truth is, if we desire to be great healers to others, we must become even better healers to ourselves first.
Drawing from the wisdom of neuroscience, Tibetan Buddhism and Internal Family Systems Therapy, this workshop will teach you:
It is one thing to practice self care, and quite another to develop a nourishing and effective system of well-being that will transform and empower your client work, and become an integral part of your healing gift to the world.
