Are you a healthcare professional or carer finding yourself exhausted, crabby and wishing everyone would leave you alone?
You find yourself feeling guilty, or angry at the system for treating you this way.
You tell yourself that self-care is important, but it feels like another thing on your to-do list, and it’s the first thing to vanish when work gets busy.
Are you searching for a way to be able to truly support yourself through difficulty, whilst enhancing your capacity for compassion in your work and home-life?
What if you could learn to be your best friend and coach – honest, supportive and motivating?
What if you don’t have to let go of your inner critic, but instead could train it to be more motivating and realistic?
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I HEAR IS...
“I don’t do compassion for myself – my role is to be compassionate to others!”
I get it! Our resistance to self-compassion runs deep. And your whole identity is about giving and serving. But what happens when you keep on giving, without getting anything back?
You burn-out. You get grumpy with your kids or partner. Relationships become strained. You start to build a wall in your mind, so that other people’s distress and suffering can’t hurt you anymore. And you disconnect from your true self – you stop noticing your body, your feelings, and you stop connecting with others.
I’ve experienced burnout. It’s a scary place to be.
But what if, through mastering some simple skills, you can transform your relationship with yourself?
Instead of self-care feeling like an additional burden, it becomes part of who you are, and how you handle yourself in difficult situations?
How different would your life be if you had the skills to manage your energy, direct your thinking to support your every step, and had a toolbox of trusted strategies to use throughout your day?
I’m very realistic – you don’t have any spare time – but what if these skills don’t take ANY extra time?
I will show you how to weave these skills into your day, so they are as easy as breathing.
INTRODUCING
Compassionate Self-Care for Medics & Caring Professionals
A self-paced programme that introduces the key concepts of compassionate self-care through bite-size lessons that guide you through simple practices, and open the door to understanding how your mind works and how you can support your mind to thrive.
There are four sections to the programme:
Compassion
Learning what compassion really is, and how to cultivate compassion
What gets in the way
Understanding your natural resistance to self-compassion, and overcoming those obstacles
Cultivating Skills
Building the “awareness” component of compassion and adding resources to your toolbox.
Going Deeper
Learning how to deal with challenging emotions, and build more joy and depth into your life.
I will help you to unpack all your resistance, the way your brain tries to sabotage you, and the key insights that will help you thrive.
These skills are high-performance habits – they will help you better deal with difficulty, have stronger relationships, support your mental health, and help you to develop new ways to motivate yourself and support your career.
I’ve designed it specifically for you, as a healthcare professional, because I know the unique challenges of working in healthcare. I know the system doesn’t support self-care. I understand the culture and the pressures.
And I know that these skills will transform your life, as they did mine.
By the end of this course you'll...
- Understand what’s going on in your brain when you’re under stress
- Have developed a toolbox of strategies that specifically work for you.
- Have changed your relationship with your inner critic, and challenging emotions, and instead have the skills to motivate yourself through difficulty and overcome procrastination or other reactive behaviours.
- Understand how compassion differs from empathy, and how you can build the skills of compassion so that everyone in your life benefits.
