Working in the helping professions means that we are frequently secondary witnesses to the trauma and severe stress experienced by our clients. It is human and natural to be affected by others’ suffering. However, the potential risk of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and burnout is a major concern, taking its toll on many practitioners.
Identifying these experiences associated with our work, and addressing our safety and self-care individually and with our colleagues, are essential and often under-prioritized skills within our professions. In this practical and experiential workshop, underpinned by Adlerian principles and practice, Anthea Millar will address the following:
• Understanding Compassion Fatigue, Vicarious Trauma, and Secondary Traumatic Stress
• The Neuroscience of ‘Second-Hand Shock’
• The Challenge of Empathy
• Interventions Enabling Practitioner Safety and Self-Care
• Strengthening Networks of Support within our Workplaces
Presenter: Anthea Millar, MA, MBACP (Snr. Accred), Dip.IIP
Anthea Millar is a UK based senior accredited Adlerian psychotherapist, psychotherapy trainer and supervisor educator, with over 35 years’ experience of working within the National Health Service, with Employee Assistance Programmes, and numerous social services, educational and charitable agencies.
