Preventing & Treating Compassion Fatigue

Most burnout and employee wellness presentations are highly focused on the individual, ignore systemic issues and advocacy, and implicitly blame those suffering from compassion fatigue. And those are about the worst ways to discuss this topic. Instead, my workshop focuses on:
- differentiating between burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma- understanding your unique burnout triggers based on your personality & intersectional identities- gain techniques and practices for preventing, actively treating, & recovering from compassion fatigue- increase understanding and knowledge of ways to advocate for systemic change 

Understanding Religious Trauma 

Religious trauma is both surprisingly common and detrimental, but has gotten little attention in the clinical world until the last few years. So it makes sense that there is also very little consensus about treatment for religious trauma, let alone some kind of official certification. This training discusses:
- definitions of the religious trauma spectrum, as well as symptoms and frequent causes- common effects of religious trauma on individuals & primary factors for seeking therapy as a result- intervention suggestions based on evidence-based practices for trauma
