Rewire Your Brain, Reignite Empathy, and Rebuild Compassion
A Program for Overcoming Grief, Burnout and Trauma
Healthcare and care facility workers are the heart of compassionate care, yet the emotional demands of the job often take a toll.
Grief, burnout, and trauma can strip away the energy, empathy, and compassion required to provide the best care to those we serve.
When trust and connection falter, it becomes difficult to remain motivated, engaged, and focused on the impact we can make.
Program Highlights
Understand Grief, Burnout, and Trauma
Grief, burnout, and trauma can present themselves in many forms and affect individuals differently. These emotional burdens often hide under the umbrella of “compassion fatigue,” which can lead to disengagement, apathy, and a disconnection from the very empathy and compassion needed to care effectively for others. By addressing the root causes, we can break through these barriers and begin rebuilding the emotional resources necessary for caregiving.
In this program, we’ll explore:
- How grief, burnout, and trauma shape thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.
- The hidden aspects of burnout and the role apathy plays in disengagement.
- How disenfranchised grief manifests in care settings and its impact on workers.
- How trauma—whether witnessed or experienced—affects emotional well-being and performance in caregiving.
Rewire Your Brain
Participants will learn how to break the patterns that keep them stuck by applying simple, evidence-based techniques.
We will explore how the brain’s neuroplasticity can be harnessed to create new neural pathways, leading to better emotional outcomes.
Interactive role-play exercises will help you tap into empathy and compassion, reactivating the essential qualities for effective caregiving and leadership.
Create Lasting Change
This program is not just about learning; it’s about taking action and creating lasting transformation. Participants will receive:
- A comprehensive workbook to guide you through the key concepts and exercises.
- A post-session check-in to reinforce the learnings and clarify action steps.
- A follow-up Zoom session two to three weeks later to discuss progress, share successes, and address challenges, keeping momentum going.
- A second Zoom session four to six weeks after the workshop to focus on sharing knowledge with team members and putting action plans into place.
- Access to a video learning series for ongoing reference and to support continuous growth.
Key Takeaways
- How to rebuild trust and relationships through curiosity and intentionality.
- Practical strategies to overcome compassion fatigue and expand the brain’s bandwidth for caregiving.
- Effective approaches for managing difficult family dynamics and improving professional relationships.
- How to challenge limiting beliefs and approach caregiving with fresh perspectives.
Restore Empathy, Reignite Compassion, and Build Resilience
Grief, burnout, and trauma are an inevitable part of working in healthcare and care facilities. But by focusing on what we can control—our own emotional resilience and capacity for empathy—we can rebuild the foundations of compassionate care.
