Grief on the Job
Copyright :
Working with people in pain has never been easy, but recently, it’s become even more difficult. Between our country’s multiple mental health crises, a shortage of providers, and diminishing professional boundaries, many of today’s therapists are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and under-supported. Does this sound familiar? Our repeated exposure to our clients’ anxiety, depression, anger, and loss can manifest as a type of grief. In this workshop, you’ll learn specific tools you can use to manage this grief and set boundaries in the workplace, while still remaining present, attuned, and helpful to your clients. You’ll also discover how to:
- Create and maintain boundaries with clients and coworkers in real time
- Detect and navigate systemic workplace failures that are sources of emotional overwhelm
- How to build a support system to help you manage grief when it arises
