Healthy Empathy: How to Give Without Giving It All Away

WEEKEND OF AUGUST 17-19, 2018

"Multiple studies confirm that health and healing professionals who demonstrate empathy provide better care and achieve greater patient/client satisfaction. However, empathic burnout and compassion fatigue are a constant presence in the working lives of health professionals and anyone who provides caregiving. In addition to the many other challenges, they must make sure that their empathy is intentional, self-enriching, sustainable, and most of all, healthy. Join empathy experts Karla McLaren and Tino Plank for an exploration of Karla’s Six Essential Aspects of Empathy model in a weekend retreat for health and healing professionals."
