Description
Showing up as your authentic self in a therapeutic space can feel difficult, complicated, and stressful. As practitioners, you are navigating a world that can feel unsafe and scary, attempting to support your clients while supporting yourself at the same time. Dr. Shanéa Thomas (he/she/Dr.) personally understands how identity can increase the stress LGBTQIA+ clinicians experience and complicate your ability to give practice from an unbiased, healthy place. During this 90 minute session, Dr. Thomas will discuss the implications for burnout and stress, specifically for LGBTQIA+ clinicians, and guide you through intra-personal practices to center self-care in practice, especially while the world is on fire.
