Stress Management

Effective coping strategies will help you become more resilient to the inevitable stresses of your work. This workshop will enable you to:

Identify your personal warning signs of stress

Discover how to maintain a more positive attitude

Reduce the risks of compassion fatigue and burnout

Research indicates that the most empathic practitioners have a higher risk of compassion fatigue and burnout. In this training we explore the role of empathy as well as the neuro-science of mood contagion.

The strategies are based on work by the psychotherapist Babette Rothschild, author of ‘Help for the Helper.’ This workshop is particularly valuable for doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals who are easily drained or affected by the distress of their patients. These new skills will enable you to continue to provide optimum patient care while also taking care of yourself.

This workshop will help you:

Identify warning signs of compassion fatigue and burnout

Become more resilient to the emotionally demanding aspects of work

Develop a variety of strategies to empathise in a safer way

Feel less depleted at the end of the day

Avoid 'picking up' disturbing emotions / moods of patients

Minimise the risks of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue or burnout

Assertiveness and Building Confidence

Lack of confidence and the inability to be assertive can prevent you from working effectively as well as increasing susceptibility to stress or burnout.

This workshop will enable doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals to:

Understand the difference between assertive and aggressive behaviour

Identify when assertiveness would be beneficial

Communicate more clearly and effectively

Overcome challenges with more confidence
