Taking Your Time to Shine (Self
Study)
Mindfulness & Character Strengths Practices to Be Your Best Self
An 8 week mindfulness-based synchronous course to help therapists (and others who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders) move from overwhelmed and exhausted to empowered, energized, confident, and more in control of how they feel.
This program has been designed with therapists, healers, and empaths in mind. Empaths have a natural ability to sense and feel what others are experiencing. This is a great gift when you know how to do so in a way that's helpful to others and energetically safe and boundaried for yourself. But many empaths have not been taught how to do this. So instead of using their natural abilities in a way that is invigorating and feels meaningful to them, they feel overwhelmed and drained.
Join Kanjana and Brandon, healers, empaths, mindfulness practitioners, and people who've been on this journey themselves to:
- Harness mindfulness, self-compassion, and positive psychology techniques that take you from surviving to thriving.
- Create healthy energetic and relational boundaries to improve relationships and feel energetically protected.
- Discover your natural character strengths and learn how to turn them up or down as needed.
- Understand your personal values and how to live in alignment with them for a more fulfilled and contented life.
- Realize your full potential by recognizing and befriending your Self and your empathic gifts- allowing the best, most authentic version of Y-O-U to shine through.
Learning Objectives:
By attending and participating in the entire training participants will be able to:
- Utilize tools from a Mindfulness-Based Strength Practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Self-Compassion as therapeutic interventions to assist with quality and effectiveness of client relationships
- Describe what it is like to participate in yoga asana, meditation, mindfulness, breathing, journaling, and therapeutic art practices for their own emotional regulation, stress management, and burnout preventative care
- Explain the importance of self-care as an ethical obligation to clients
- Describe at least 3 energetic tools used to improve relational boundaries
- Demonstrate how to help clients discover and apply their natural character strengths
