Description: Even without the lingering effects of the COVID19 pandemic, sometimes it feels as though just being human is traumatic. At the very least, we are all experiencing the impact of toxic stress, not only secondarily through our relationships with our clients but also directly, both personally and professionally. When we’re armed with the neuroscience of trauma and toxic stress, our burn-out and compassion fatigue makes sense, and we can begin to take steps toward healing. It really is possible to be with our clients in their valid experiences of overwhelm, burn-out, helplessness, and hopelessness without succumbing to those experiences ourselves. This keynote address will leave you feeling validated and hopeful. You’ll walk about with practical tips that you’ll be able to implement immediately, beginning an ongoing practice of being with yourself in order to be with your clients.
