OVERVIEW:
Do you know the difference between traumatic countertransference, vicarious trauma, empathy fatigue, compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout? The helping professions are high-touch and high-exposure, which means we are plagued with the threat of early-career burnout, likely affecting well over half of all helping professionals (AHRQ, 2017; Joint Commission, 2015). In this presentation, we will talk about these terms and others, while exploring the risks associated with empathy and countertransference. Participants will learn how to use mindfulness as a way to recognize unhelpful countertransference, as a reframing tool for building better boundaries, and as an alternative method to measure our own success as a clinician.
It is our natural propensity to avoid exposure risks, resulting in avoidance via classic compassion fatigue responses. However, through the use of mindfulness, existentialist approaches, and cognitive reframing, clinicians have the opportunity to re-evaluate their role as a helping professional. Mental health clinicians who want to successfully navigate the pitfalls of burnout also need to learn how to become better boundary experts. Together, we will explore how to recognize diffuse personal boundaries, potential exposure risks to secondary trauma, and how to better evaluate our own success as a mental health clinician, even when the success of our client looks bleak.
