Enhancing Resilience and Finding Balance in Uncertain Times
$25.95
Working with people facing grief, loss, serious illness, and trauma poses critical challenges for the highly motivated and empathic professionals who care for them. Burnout, secondary traumatization, and moral distress are ongoing risks in this intensely emotional work, all dramatically heightened in the ongoing pandemic. How can professionals best access these deeper wellsprings of caring and put empathy and compassion to work in a way that enhances both clinical effectiveness and personal and professional growth? Dr. Dale Larson will explore this question, drawing upon recent discoveries in positive psychology, neurobiology, and psychotherapy that are revolutionizing understanding of empathy, compassion, altruism, resilience, teamwork, and the helping relationship.
