CLINICIAN COURSES
Introduction
Working with clients in the helping professions
(nurses, doctors, therapists, teachers, social workers etc.) can be
hugely rewarding but is also known to incur high rates of emotional
exhaustion and stress. Having an effective self-care practice is
essential. The importance of self-care practices can affect
emotional, cognitive, behavioural and inter-personal functioning.
Mindfulness practice offers participants the
opportunity to move towards greater balance, choice and
participation in life. Through the
training
we learn how to bring acceptance and curiosity to all of our experience, thoughts, emotions and reactions and to the situation we are in. This
can free us up to respond with more clarity and wisdom rather than acting out of habitual patterns. It opens the possibility of working more compassionately with difficulties in life and to choose what is nourishing for ourselves and others.
