Mindfulness and Self-Care:
Restorative Tools for Clinicians Presented by Ashley Davis Bush, LCSW

Web Conference Description

Self-care should not wait until after hours or weekends. Restorative pauses are a must throughout the day for warding off compassion fatigue. This workshop will offer specific tools that harness the benefits of mindfulness as a means for personal care. Learn about a simple ‘tools to trigger’ system for creating mindfulness habits throughout your workday. These well-being exercises are designed to be done while driving to work, sitting in front of the computer, before/during/and after sessions, and when transitioning to home. Let new habits of mind tap into your own neuroplasticity and provide escape from the monotony of autopilot.


This Web Conference is designed to help clinicians:


1) Identify four characteristics of the stress response, which over time lead to burn-out;
2) List three differences between environmental strategies for stress reduction versus inner peace strategies;
3) Harness the benefits of neuroplasticity in a simple system of linking tools to triggers;
4) Acquire six simple tools for self-care that they can use before work, during sessions, and after work.
