Course Description

This is a recorded webinar from June 9, 2025. The recording will be uploaded on June 10, 2025.

Burnout has become a near-universal experience, showing up in our offices, our bodies, and the stories our clients bring to sessions. This interactive workshop explores burnout through a dual lens: as a lived experience for clinicians and as a growing clinical theme among clients. Through a trauma-informed and nervous-system-aware lens, we’ll unpack the systemic, emotional, and physiological roots of burnout and explore tools for interrupting the cycle on both sides of the therapy room. Participants will leave with language, strategies, and frameworks to better understand and navigate burnout in their work and in their clients’ lives.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the shared and unique contributors to burnout in both clinicians and clients, including systemic, emotional, and physiological factors.
  • Utilize trauma-informed and somatic strategies to assess and respond to client burnout within clinical practice.
  • Apply practical tools to support clinician well-being, including boundary setting, nervous system regulation, and sustainable routines.
