Workshop Four - Caroline Welch “Inner-Compassion and Purpose: Two Essential Pillars of Well-being and Healing Trauma”
An engaging exploration of how to cultivate more Inner-compassion—which can be difficult for us to do.
Given that the “self” is a center of experience, and that this center is not only the body of the individual, we can use the term “inner-compassion” to focus on how we provide can bolster not only your own well-being, but also that of the trauma population you serve.
You’ll leave this presentation with concrete, small steps you can take to be on your way to living with more inner-compassion.
You will also discover how inner-compassion, combined with being able to articulate your purpose as a mental health care practitioner, can get you through the most discouraging days.
Cultivating meaning and purpose in our lives is a key way to transform trauma from a distressed state to long-lasting growth.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Discover how cultivating more inner-compassion can support well-being through connection, resilience and healing from trauma.
2. Learn sustainable, inner-compassion practices that can be integrated into your work to transform trauma from a state of distress to growth.
3. Articulate your purpose as a mental health practitioner and cultivate the confidence that you can meet whatever challenges come your way.
