FOUNDATION: Provider Self-Care Course
$50.00
As client acuity increases, the stress and intensity of demands on wellness providers increase as well. Yet your ability to be present, compassionate, and attuned with clients is critical to providing optimal care. Our team has leveraged our experience training well over 5,000 wellness professionals in evidence-based self-care and resilience to develop this low-cost course to support wellness professionals in deepening their own self-care practice to support greater resilience, and in support of more effective work serving clients.
This course provides you a Polyvagally-informed blueprint that will teach you:
- How to prioritize your own self-care and connection so that you can be fully present for your clients, thereby delivering the most attuned connection to create the best client outcomes
- How to utilize the assess, down-regulate, connect framework to help you select appropriate interventions, remediate threat responses, and support your clients moving into a felt sense of safety and connection
- How to understand and self-assess vicarious trauma, and then a variety of strategies for both coping with it (escape, rest, and play), and transforming it (staying connected to sources of hope and meaning)
- How to better track your client’s nervous system states in order to diminish vicarious trauma that comes from mis-attunement or being out of synch with your client’s needs, and how to tailor your interventions to the client’s present moment nervous system state
This is a self-paced video-based course, shot in 4K and professionally produced by our Film Division. It consists of a series of videos ranging in length from 9 to 30 minutes, with several supplementary worksheets. Once you purchase the course, you will have lifetime access to this content.
“This work feels like a foundational piece of wellness and overall health that I feel has long been missing from the medical conversation. I love how it is based in the science of how we function- it is very practical, very direct. I’ve witnessed its effectiveness with my patients. These are places that I don’t think traditional medicine or mental health has succeeded in reaching, and I find this work extremely inspiring and hopeful in its implications for healing.” — Dr. Nadine Burke Harris MD MPH, First Surgeon General of California
