Help for Helpers

Nourish:

Nervous System Regulation and Support

Being in a helping role can be rewarding and fulfilling.

It can also be exhausting and overwhelming, leading to burnout and compassion fatigue.

This is a space to tend to the body and soul of the helpers.

Who is a helper?

A helper is anyone in a role of supporting others. This includes therapists, social workers, nurses, physicians, dentists, coaches, teachers, caregivers…

What are symptoms of burnout?

  • Physical, psychological, and emotional exhaustion

  • Feeling helpless, hopeless or powerless

  • Feeling irritable, angry, sad or numb

  • A sense of being detached or having decreased pleasure in activities, feeling like you just don’t care

  • Ruminating about the suffering of others and feeling anger towards the events or people causing the suffering

  • Blaming yourself and having thoughts of not having done enough to help the people who are suffering

  • A decreased sense of personal and professional accomplishment

  • A change in your worldview or spirituality

  • Physical symptoms, including appetite and sleep disturbances, nausea and dizziness

In this group we work to:

-Understand the automatic nervous system, trauma physiology, and regulation

-Feel deeply connected and attuned to your own body and nervous system

-Feel the power of connection and attunement with other helpers

-Learn to nourish yourself with the same compassionate skills you offer your clients or patients

-Gain traction, momentum, and confidence towards goals that have felt out of reach (personally, professionally)

-Feel yourself as a fully embodied helper, able to care not only for others, but for yourself and the things you love
