Soul of the Wounded Healer
Atascadero, CA
Who are the caregivers? We all are, for at the heart of being human is the capacity to care, to reach out to others and explore the relationships we build. We care for our children, our parents, our relatives, friends, clients, strangers, and patients. Caregiving is broad in scope and covers a diversity of occupations and professions such as healthcare professionals, physicians, nurses, therapists, health-care workers, chaplains, mission leaders, pastors, coaches and first responders. A fundamental core component of our busy lives is the necessity to stop and rest to ponder, reflect, and grow from our experiences.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
- Expand their awareness of the universal and mythological underpinnings of the Soul of Caregiving.
- Explore the strengths and pitfalls of being a caregiver.
- Be able to avoid compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary stress through building the skills of compassion resilience.
