Resilience and Compassion Fatigue

Dan Totaro, MA LMFT, Certified Compassion Fatigue Educator

This presentation reviews a wide array of information and skills to help therapists build resiliency against the potentially detrimental impact of our work. We as therapists can become so focused on the needs of those we serve that we forget to take time out for ourselves and find balance within the workday and our lives.  Unlike burnout, the impact of compassion fatigue can often be subtle and gradual, but the results just as harmful to our professional and personal lives. Participants will explore effective strategies for coping with compassion fatigue as well as for developing professional and personal resilience. 

 Objectives:

To understand:

  1. the concepts of compassion fatigue and resilience
  2. how to build and maintain resilience
  3. the elements of a self-care lifestyle
  4. how to identify and overcome roadblocks to developing and maintaining resilience
