Session Length: 2 hr. 00 min. Event: 2007 Networker Annual Symposium Date: March 15-18, 2007
Therapists who work with the poor are prone to burnout. Their clients are overwhelmed by social injustice, despair, ugliness, and violence, and it's easy to take it all home at the end of the workday. Some therapists, however, develop a strong mindset that allows them to keep going, compartmentalize, and help others while maintaining a happy personal life and high levels of professional satisfaction. In this experiential workshop, you'll learn from someone with decades of experience in the trenches. You'll leave this workshop full of ideas on how to celebrate your small victories, let go of overresponsibility, and use rituals of renewal and transition, so that you arrive home ready to share happy moments with your family and friends.
