RC Webinar: Can our COVID-19 Experience Increase Compassion for and Connection
with our Clients? 

We have all had to endure many changes and stressors during the pandemic crisis. Since we have no way to avoid experiencing this, how can we use our experiences to enhance our clinical compassion? Participants will examine their experiences during this crisis and consider what they can learn from them in areas such as:

• Living with a sense of constant danger
• Being cut off from loved ones
• Ever-changing and difficult to understand rules and advice
• Loneliness
• Loss
• Being unable to access resources
• Handling multiple stressors at once
• Lack of resources
• Uncertainty and fear of the future

As we allow ourselves to explore these experiences in-depth, we can develop a more visceral understanding of our clients’ everyday world. How can we translate this new awareness into changed practices for our work?

Learning objectives:

1. Participants will identify and explore their own COVID19 experiences.
2. Participants will connect these experiences to experiences that are common for their clients and explore how clients manifest these stressors in ways that now make more sense.
3. Participants will translate this new understanding into changes they will make in their practice.
