What we'll cover The daily life of a healthcare professional: what’s the reality? What makes it challenging? How do we sometimes make things harder for ourselves? And how can we handle that more wisely? How can we keep working with energy and engagement? The link between self-compassion and well-being from a neuroscientific perspective: how self-compassion leads to better self-care, less anxiety, depression, and burnout, and ultimately a happier life. The five elements of good self-care: the body, the mind (how we deal with self-critical thoughts), emotions (how we handle difficult feelings), relationships (how we balance giving and receiving), and meaning (why we do what we do and how we can live that fully). Universal and individual needs: what do we, as human beings—and you as a busy healthcare professional—need to survive, function well, and feel happy? How can we meet those needs in daily life? Compassion fatigue: how can you, as a busy clinican, protect yourself from being drained by others’ pain and suffering? How do you find the right balance between caring for others and caring for yourself?
