An IFS Lens on Therapist Burnout – What It (Really) Is and What We Can Do About It
An online workshop with Cece Sykes on December 5 & 6, 2024
Being a therapist is fascinating, rewarding, and sometimes quite challenging. For IFS clinicians, however, there is an important added benefit -we work collaboratively, looping in client Self-energy as an active partner in the process. Yet, I hear therapists tell me they often feel overwhelmed, work long hours, and are really tired.
Is this ‘normal’? Is it okay? Is it harmful?
In this experiential workshop, we will discuss signs of compassion fatigue and burnout, discovering how our parts view the parameters of therapist responsibility and the intersection of our needs with our clients. Through lectures, discussions, experiential exercises, small groups, and live demo, we will connect with others in our community to explore effective, self-led compassion – for clients and for ourselves.
