Description

This workshop will help participants examine their relationship to both self-care and the care of others, coupled with potential factors that create imbalance in one’s ability to set therapeutic boundaries, such as:  codependency; enmeshment; transference; self-esteem and self-worth.  The training will offer experiential activities and discussions about establishing therapeutic boundaries, creating balance in one’s ability to know what is needed for self-care to effectively help others.

Training Objectives:

1. Participants will examine how they use their time for others versus time for themselves

2. Participants will gain a conceptual and practical understanding of self-compassion

3. Participants will engage in experiential practices of intentionality, mindfulness and grounding as part of developing a self-care plan

4. Participants will understand the concept of boundaries and boundary-setting as part of therapeutic relationships and wellness

This dynamic, interactive program will include full group and breakout room discussions.
