About the event
How do we meet the challenge of being available to others when it seems we barely have enough energy for ourselves? Sometimes we blame ourselves when we can’t attend to others, and self-care seems to be just another item on a checklist that we’re not doing, and many of us are in a position in which we have to be present for others. I’ve learned that I feel more nourished after interactions with others if I’ve been truly present—and that spending time alone feels more restorative if I’ve been present with myself instead of just checked out. In this presentation we’ll look at techniques for being intentionally present with others, lessons learned from years of private practice. And we’ll discuss deep states of interiority—how we connect with deep parts of ourselves to find meaning and hope. We’ll touch on the stress and grief so many of us have experienced over the past few years, and how we can support that in others. 2.0 Continuing Education Units will be provided to: Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional (QIDP), Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA), Licensed Occupational Therapist (OT), Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA), Licensed Physical Therapist (PT), Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Social Worker (LSW), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Psychologist (LCP), Advanced Practice Nurse (ANP), Registered Nurse (RN) & Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
