Description:
Borrowing from ideas developed by Joan Halifax, Ph.D., Strong Back, Soft Front involves building further understanding of the importance of self-compassion in our work as counselors and supervisors.

Learning Objectives:
-
Increase skills for self-compassion by exploring the fundamental nature of work (not knowing and curious exploration),
-
Develop their own sense of calmness and balance,
-
Building and maintaining healthy boundaries.
