About this Course

We absorb our clients’ stories and cries for help. In the best of times, we are at risk for burnout, but a year and a half of Covid has intensified this process. This afternoon’s workshop is about rejuvenation and self-care explored through Psychoanalytic perspectives to help us understand this intensity.

Course Objectives

  psychoanalytic perspective.

• Participants will be able to identify and define the impact of holding clients’ stories in the
  body and psyche.
