#2 COULD YOU BE EXPERIENCING JOB BURNOUT?: SPOTTING IT AND TAKING ACTION
Psychotherapy is a hazardous occupation. Many mental health professionals work long hours in isolation with patients who are primarily in crisis and pain. Therapists are supposed to offers these people support, empathy, interpretation, explanation and direction. They are supposed to give endlessly while expecting nothing in return, except the fee. This results in practitioners’ emotional depletion
In this workshop, participants will learn the factors that contribute to the therapist’s burnout and the hazards to the therapist’s family and social life. Participants will also learn how to prevent feelings of depletion and burnout, increase job satisfaction, and provide better quality services to your patients.
