Helping professionals are often the unsung heroes in mental health care, offering support to clients through their darkest moments. However, the emotional toll of hearing others' trauma can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. This session will explore the transformative power of self-compassion in preventing and mitigating these effects. Drawing on the groundbreaking work of Kristin Neff, participants will learn practical self-compassion techniques to help preserve their emotional well-being, model resilience to clients, and create a sustainable practice in the field.
