De helende kracht van emoties
An essential part of being an effective and compassionate therapist includes the ability to be present, to care of ourselves and to cultivate self-compassion and positive well-being. Being present and compassionate in our own lives and relationships also allows for greater energy to sustain our therapeutic presence with clients and patients.
This Masterclass is organized together with Focus on Emotion Belgium and is open for all health care professionals and will focus on cultivating the foundation of therapeutic presence and compassion with others, providing an opportunity for self-care, restoration and connection in a beautiful nature setting. In community with other therapists we will deepen our ability to be present and compassionate through mindfulness and self-compassion practices. These practices will focus on cultivating greater attunement and connection with ourselves, others and with nature.
With the cultivation of presence and self-compassion, we can develop greater trust in our ability to move through work and life challenges with greater ease, while feeling energized, calm, and centered. This can help us to return to our work and care of others, with greater attention, energy, purpose, while balancing care for ourselves. No prior experience with mindfulness or self-compassion is required.
