For those who work in the healing professions, the physical,
psychological and emotional demands often generate anxiety, stagnation,
frustration apathy, and symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.
Caregivers are often profoundly affected by the magnitude and severity
of work related stress.
This two day workshop will provide an opportunity to identify, release
and heal the stress associated with very demanding clinical work and
work settings. Didactic information and self-assessments, along
with the creative arts, will allow attendees to rediscover and redefine
the dedication, passion, and hope that often becomes lost in an overload
of difficult and exhausting cases, regulations, and paper work.
Through the use of art media and creative arts therapy techniques,
participants will engage in the creative process as a method of
expression, discovery and healing. The workshop content is
designed to prevent exposure to traumatic material and to heal the
bodymindspirit.
All activities and level
of participation are optional, designed for privacy, safety,
rejuvenation, and healing. A portion of the workshop is devoted to
supervisory issues and meets the requirements for supervision
instruction for continuing education.
Objectives: Attendees will learn to:
-
define secondary post-traumatic stress and to describe the
historical and contemporary perspectives of the experience,
-
describe the symptoms and contributing factors of secondary PTS
-
describe the personal and professional impact of Secondary PTS on
clients, clinicians, and institutions, and
-
describe treatment and prevention strategies for Secondary PTS for
the self and the workplace.
