Caring and compassion play important roles in our work as clinicians. Evidence suggests that when health care professionals are dissatisfied with their jobs and are experiencing psychological distress, patient care suffers. Working in the mental health field brings its own unique stressors, particularly for those whose work consistently involves them working with clinical populations with high levels of suffering. There is growing evidence that the therapeutic relationship may be a significant factor in the outcome of treatment regardless of the therapist’s particular clinical technique. With that in mind, this day long workshop will explore through both didactic presentation and experiential exercises the relevance of fostering a personal mindfulness practice as a way to enhance clinical skills in the therapeutic relationship as well as nurturing attributes for self-care.
Learning Objectives:
-
Participants will discuss the role of mindfulness in the therapeutic relationship; the relevance of “being” mode versus “doing” mode.Participants will discuss the relevance of mindfulness practice as a means for self-care.
