Drowning in Empathy:  Ethical Considerations for Therapists

This beginner to advanced level training will engage those working in the Mental Health Field to examine their own wellness practices. Working as a caregiver utilizing play therapy in today's world has become increasingly more challenging. Therapists willingly engage in high stress encounters with clients and their guardians all while attempting to navigate the Post-Pandemic life of technological and administrative demands, financial concerns, a morass of politics, and a cornucopia of personal life situations.  Marked levels of professional caregivers report a high degree of compassion fatigue and/or burnout, with Play Therapists reporting a lower than expected percentage of perceived self-efficacy.  This presentation will help participants understand the connection between empathy levels and one’s own access to resiliency; giving participant’s permission to acknowledge challenges and engage in quantifiable change in self-care practices.
