An Online Class Facilitated by Jane Quayle
Part of The Focusing Highlights Series
This class is designed for people in the helping professions: psychotherapists, Focusing teachers, social workers and health professionals. It is useful and relevant for anyone who is in a caring role. Often people who work in caring roles are very good at attending to the needs of others and not so practiced at attending to their own needs. This class is designed to shine the light on your own self-care using the techniques of Focusing. Join us for this experiential exploration where you will be invited to:
- Notice the factors that contribute to stress in your work-life.
- Notice what you do (and maybe can do more of) to nurture and sustain yourself.
- Notice that as an interactive being you will inevitably be touched by each client encounter.
- Look out and ask - How can I use how I am touched in the service of my clients?
- Look in and ask - How can I care for myself in this interaction?
