SUMMARY:Selfcare for Personal (Family) Caregivers- Online
DESCRIPTION:Reconnecting with the Caregiver Song in Your Heart\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event\n\n\n\n\n\nSome days there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. \n\n\n\n– Emory Austin \n\n\n\n\nCare-giving for loved ones begins with a song in the heart composed of love\, compassion and purpose. A song that overtime we can find harder and harder to sing as the everyday realities of care-giving lead us into compassion fatigue\, a form of care-giver burnout manifesting in deep physical\, emotional and spiritual exhaustion. Those who have experienced compassion fatigue often describe it as being sucked into a vortex that slowly pulls them down\, eroding empathy\, compassion and positive connection for and to others – and one’s best self. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will explore: attitudes of over-care; how to identify personal barriers to self-care; the causes\, signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue; the importance of balancing pleasure and meaning; how to develop a self-care action plan; and easy-to-learn and do renewing practices that can help increase your confidence and ability to take positive\, effective action during times of pressure\, challenge and change. Instructor presentation\, conversation\, writing and reflection are all part of this workshop experience. \n\n\n\nOnline Registration Required by Monday February 17\, space is limited \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Presenter \n\n\n\nElizabeth Lewis is a certified grief support specialist\, grief educator\, trauma sensitive HeartMath provider\, stress resilience trainer\, spiritual counselor and motivational speaker. She is trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction\, a modality that includes therapeutic yoga.
