Covid Burnout and Vicarious Trauma RECORDING

As therapists and helping professionals, we’ve all experienced it…the 1-2 punch of Covid and burnout. But who is caring for the caregivers? The answer is no one…except us! This webinar is not about how to be a better therapist, it’s about how to take care of ourselves.

In our time together you’ll have an opportunity to discuss your experiences during Covid with your colleagues, explore the impact they have had on you, and to affirm and validate the many ways these past two years have taken a toll on us. We’ll explore what it’s been like for us – a bunch of caregivers at heart – to not be able to  meet the many requests for service. We’ll also talk about what burnout is and look at some of the  emotional, mental and physical symptoms and distinguish it from vicarious traumatization.

You’ll be asked to complete an assessment of your self-care and in our second week we’ll assess your self-care practices through a vicarious traumatization lens. We are all at risk for vicarious traumatization and it has nothing to do with our competence.
