OVERVIEW
 

Mental health professionals are exposed to a variety of factors that can lead to vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, or burnout. Prevention using strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other mindfulness-based interventions such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy can help clinicians catch the early signs of burnout and take proactive self-care measures.

​

The workshop will begin by briefly covering the stages of burnout, along with common psychological and physiological signs and symptoms. We will then cover the six processes that lead to psychological resilience: Expanding the sense of self, defusing from distressing thoughts, acceptance of emotions and reality, mindful contact with the present moment, connecting with what matters, and taking action steps.

​

The workshop will also include an experiential visualization exercise to foster compassion for oneself and for changing our way of relating to challenging clients.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. List three signs and symptoms of burnout in the clinician.

  2. Describe how mindfulness can be used as a tool for the prevention of burnout.
