Course Description

Compassion Fatigue: Heal Thyself explores how vicarious stress and trauma can impact a clinician’s emotional health. Consideration is given to the importance of being mindful of one’s personal well-being. If we are compromised with stress and experience “burn-out,” we potentially place our clients at risk of receiving less than quality support. Focus will be placed on identifying signs of secondary trauma and self-care strategies for stress reduction. Moreover this course explores sleep deprivation and proper sleep hygiene: understanding the relationship between our nutrition, diet, exercise, and circadian rhythms. Cognitive behavioral strategies will also be reviewed. Lastly, the efficacy of these integral therapy practices as a part of stress reduction for patients in clinical treatment will be considered in conjunction with other psychodynamic and behavioral modalities.

William Wright

I’ve been in the health and wellness space for over 25 years and am deeply passionate about the mind-body connection. Common areas of focus include work-life balance, finding a sense of direction, and navigating feelings of being stuck. Typical outcomes for my clients include empowerment, increased self-awareness, expanded perspectives, emotional resilience, and feeling of personal freedom. Clients often express appreciation for the safe, judgment-free environment I create, allowing them to uncover what holds them back. Leveraging curiosity and empathy, I guide clients in connecting the dots so they can move forward with focus, confidence, and motivation.
